CFDA Narrative Excerpt: The purpose of USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (BHA) is to provide life-saving humanitarian assistance—including food, water, shelter, emergency healthcare, and other critical aid—to the world’s most vulnerable and hardest-to-reach population affected by natural, man-made, and complex disasters. BHA is the lead federal coordinator for international disaster assistance, harnessing the expertise and unique capacities of other U.S. government, non-U.S. entities, and public international organizations to effectively respond to natural disasters and complex crises by providing emergency and food assistance around the world.

Recipient: International Medical Corps (IMC)

This award will provide financial support to International Medical Corps (IMC) for a program entitled, “Local Engagement and Response Network (LEARN): Strengthening Localized Multi-Sectoral Readiness and Response to Infectious Disease Outbreaks in Humanitarian Settings” worldwide. The theory of change is that if networks of LFR representatives of all sectors are established, and their technical and operational capacity is strengthened through contextualized, localized, and integrated multi-sectoral tools to (i) engage and coordinate with critical ID coordination platforms and public health institutions; (ii) improve their readiness and multi-sectoral response to ID outbreaks; and (iii) improve their ability to ensure the capacity of community-based structures and workforces are strengthened, then there will be an overall improvement in the timeliness, reach, and coverage of readiness and multi-sectoral responses to ID outbreaks of epidemic or pandemic potential in humanitarian settings.

The total number of beneficiaries that will be supported under this award is 80 humanitarian organizations to be actively coordinating in the proposed area of work in 14 countries. The list of targeted countries will be finalized in concurrence with BHA.
