Organisation Pour LE Developpement Socio-Culturel De Petit-Goave Odscp

Organisation Pour LE Developpement Socio-Culturel De Petit-Goave Odscp is a non-profit organization based in Haiti that has been registered to receive federal grants and cooperative agreements from the U.S. government since 2016. It appears to be focused on socio-cultural development initiatives in the Petit-Goave region of Haiti.

Organisation Pour LE Developpement Socio-Culturel De Petit-Goave Odscp has received several grants from the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs to carry out public diplomacy and media training programs in Haiti. In 2023-2024, it was awarded a $90,474 cooperative agreement to increase local understanding and discourage the use of clandestine migration routes from Haiti to the United States. In 2022-2023, it received a $26,900 cooperative agreement for a similar initiative to increase local media reporting on the risks of undocumented migration by boat. A larger $255,983 project grant in 2022-2023 funded logistical coordination for two journalism trainings held in August 2022 and September 2022 in partnership with the Voice of America Creole Service. These trainings aimed to build capacity for 24 Haitian reporters and media directors on topics related to migration issues. The grants fall under the Public Diplomacy Programs (CFDA 19.040) which advance U.S. foreign policy objectives through strategic engagement with foreign audiences.
