Seeds for Syria

USAID donated 3,000 metric tons of wheat seed to northeast Syria in 2021, yielding approximately 35,000 tons of wheat in the 2022 harvest. The 10-fold harvest from this $1.5 million donation could have cost more than $25 million to import as humanitarian food aid.

Education in Morocco

USAID Morocco’s National Program on Reading pilot was so successful at improving early grade reading skills in Arabic that the Ministry of Education scaled the program nationwide, reaching 4.4 million primary grade students.
