The SC Advocacy group call with FCNL this week discussed the emphasis this year to
support the USAID budgets for a variety of efforts through the appropriation process:
- Peace building programs to prevent and reduce violent conflict
- Reconciliation programs between different ethnic, racial, religious or political groups
in areas of civil trouble and war. - Preventing mass atrocities and genocide.
- Complex crises fund to provide immediate short term funding quickly during an
emergent crisis.
Efforts are underway to meet by zoom with Rep Nancy Mace. At that time a member of
the advocacy group will present concerns related to the impact of Israeli violence
against Palestinians.
