USAID · CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS — $88.2M (ETH)
Key claim: USAID obligated $88.2 million to Catholic Relief Services for the Joint Emergency Operation for Food Assistance in Ethiopia (JEOP), now operative.
Abstract
Agency for International Development obligated $88.2M to CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS, for work in ETH. JOINT EMERGENCY OPERATION FOR FOOD ASSISTANCE IN ETHIOPIA (JEOP)
Why this matters
The $88.2M JEOP obligation continues a multi-year pattern of large USAID food-assistance awards to Catholic Relief Services in Ethiopia, complementing prior BHA resilience and emergency food-security activities. It reinforces CRS/USCCB as a lead implementer of U.S. emergency food aid in the Horn of Africa.
