This grant is for USAID’s Ocean Freight Reimbursement (OFR) Program, which supports USAID-registered U.S. Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs). It provides small, competitive grants to approximately 50 PVOs annually, reimbursing eligible ocean transport costs. The purpose is to facilitate the shipment of privately donated goods and U.S. excess property, including medical supplies, agricultural equipment, educational supplies, and building equipment, to developing countries. While USAID covers direct ocean freight, participating PVOs are responsible for all associated indirect costs like commodity acquisition, warehousing, insurance, and local distribution. This program aims to ease the financial burden of transporting essential humanitarian aid and developmental materials abroad.
