The program will prioritize localization, elevating local leadership in design and priority setting, and integrating local capacity strengthening in line with USAID’s policy. Sub-grants will identify potential local partners for direct awards so that CEA activities align both with the mission\u2019s and Iraqi citizens\u2019 priorities.<\/p>\n
