USAID · CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS — $30.9M (COD)
Key claim: USAID obligated $30.9 million to Catholic Relief Services for resilience and food-security activities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, as year 1 of a 5-year award.
Abstract
Agency for International Development obligated $30.9M to CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES - UNITED STATES CONFERENCE OF CATHOLIC BISHOPS, for work in COD. TO PROVIDE RESILIENCE AND FOOD SECURITY ACTIVITIES IN DRC. YEAR 1 OF 5.
Why this matters
Resilience Food Security Activities (RFSAs) in the DRC are typically multi-year, multi-implementer consortia; a $30.9M year-1 CRS obligation alongside the prior ADRA award suggests USAID is funding parallel geographic lots of a larger DRC food-security program. Tracking these cumulatively matters for understanding U.S. commitments to one of the world’s largest food-insecure populations.
