Hundee-Oromo Grassroots Development Initiative

Hundee-Oromo Grassroots Development Initiative is a non-profit organization registered to receive federal awards from the U.S. government. Established as a community development corporation, it focuses on grassroots initiatives within the Oromo community. The organization has been registered in SAM.gov since May 13, 2019, demonstrating its eligibility for federal funding. Hundee-Oromo specializes in providing community engagement, mobilization, and health services, particularly in the Oromia region of Ethiopia, through federal grant sub-awards.

The organization has received multiple federal grant sub-awards for diverse projects in the Oromia region. One significant project involves leading community engagement and mobilization activities across eight target woredas (districts) in Oromia, working as a sub-grantee under Mercy Corps. Additionally, Hundee-Oromo has been involved in two sub-awards focused on family-oriented HIV prevention, care, and treatment services in the Oromia region, both times partnering with the Integrated Service on Health and Development Organization as the prime grantee. These projects highlight Hundee-Oromo's expertise in health services and community development, particularly in HIV-related programs. The nature of these sub-awards suggests that the organization likely receives funding indirectly through USAID or other federal agencies focused on international development and health initiatives in Ethiopia.
