Statement by Administrator Samantha Power: On Friday, President Biden sent to Congress 10-year plans to implement the U.S. Strategy to Prevent Conflict and Promote Stability with partners around the world: Haiti, Libya, Mozambique, Papua New Guinea, and the Coastal West African countries of Benin, Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, and Togo. These plans offer a roadmap, tailored to each country, of sustained, coordinated actions that will help address the root causes of conflict and build peace. USAID is eager to implement these plans in close partnership with our U.S. government partners, our partner country governments, and the local leaders and stakeholders who are best positioned to drive effective and long-term change in their communities.

This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Seasonal Malaria Chemoprevention (SMC), the intermittent administration of full treatment of an anti-malarial medicine during the malaria season to prevent malaria illness.

USAID recently awarded Research Triangle Institute International (RTI) a cooperative agreement of $73 million over 5 years (December 2022-December 2027) to contribute to the health of Guineans.

As part of its new activity entitled “Notre Santé” translated as “Our Health”, USAID launched a workshop to draw up the operational plan with the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Territorial Administration, civil society organizations, and partners. This workshop took place from January 10 to 13, 2023 in Conakry.

On December 16, 2022, USAID visited Farabana in the Kankan region in eastern Guinea to view the World Food Program (WFP) food security activities including child nutrition, meals for pregnant and lactating women, and rice harvesting.
