Grants and Technical Assistance Strategic context
OFID’s Grant Program targets develop- ment initiatives aimed at building public goods, strengthening the capacities of partner countries and addressing the specific needs of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups within these nations. It focuses on the least devel- oped countries and development initiatives that cannot be supported through loans or other financing mechanisms. OFID’s grants also provide emergency relief aid in response to natural and man-made disasters, as well as to health crises.
Grant operations are organized under a number of sub-programs including: technical assistance; research and other intellectual activities; and special pro- grams to address major global public
health concerns, to provide humanitarian and development assistance to the Palestinian people, and to combat energy poverty. In implementing its Grant Program, OFID works closely with UN agencies and a host of national and international NGOs and other partners.
By the end of December 2018, OFID had approved a cumulative total of $675.2m through its grant window.
