USAID/Philippines is conducting market research for a potential future grant focused on strengthening disaster preparedness and expediting emergency and reconstruction assistance in the Federated States of Micronesia (FSM) and Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI). This initiative, known as the PREPARE Project, aims to establish comprehensive procedures for all phases of disaster response: before, during, and after a severe natural disaster. Key components include pre-positioning essential commodities, developing engineering designs, and setting up implementation arrangements with governments, businesses, and NGOs. A central objective is to foster stronger collaboration between USAID and host governments by enhancing their disaster management capacity through training, mentoring, and promoting effective disaster management approaches from national to local levels.
