Refugee Agricultural Partnership Program

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), within the Administration for Children and Families (ACF), announces funding for the Refugee Agricultural Partnership Program (RAPP). Organizations funded under RAPP implement strategies that encourage the development of agricultural and food systems related services that will improve the livelihoods, physically and economically, of refugee families. These strategies work to provide sustainable and/or supplemental income, improved access to healthy foods and better nutrition, psychosocial development, and enhanced integration into communities by refugee families. Allowable activities under RAPP include, but are not limited to: 1) Agricultural production: 2) Marketing for agricultural produce; and 3) Training and Technical Assistance in the areas of agricultural production, marketing, business management, health, and nutrition.
