Kenya - Humanitarian Relief Assistance to Drought Related Crisis

The grant funds is used to purchase food items as well as associated costs of transportation and distribution of food rations to the beneficiaries and for administrative charges. The total grant amount is limited to the approved country ceiling of US$1,000,000 (one million United States Dollars).
