USAID · CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS — $272.5M (ETH)
Key claim: USAID is obligating $272.5M to Catholic Relief Services – USCCB to provide emergency food assistance to people facing severe acute food insecurity in Ethiopia.
Abstract
Agency for International Development obligated $272.5M to CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS, for work in ETH. TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY FOOD ASSISTANCE TO PEOPLE FACING SEVERE ACUTE FOOD INSECURITY IN ETHIOPIA
Why this matters
A $272.5M obligation is one of the largest single humanitarian food-assistance awards tracked in this vault, and it channels US emergency relief through a faith-based INGO partnership (CRS-USCCB) rather than a UN agency. It anchors Ethiopia as a major recipient of US acute food-insecurity response funding.
