Abstract
Department of State obligated $129.3M to CHURCH WORLD SERVICE, INC., for work in KEN. PROVIDE REGIONAL REFUGEE PROCESSING SERVICE IN AFRICA FOR ALL US REFUGEE ADMISSIONS
Why this matters
Church World Service operates the Resettlement Support Center for Africa, the single pipeline through which refugees from across the continent are screened and prepared for U.S. admission. A $129.3M State Department obligation sized at this level indicates the operational backbone of the African portion of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, making it a load-bearing node for refugee flows into the United States.
