Stories of Programs in Action
Artisanal Mining Initiative Strengthens Sustainable Supply Chain in Democratic Republic of the Congo

Egypt Loan Guaranty Program and Women's Business Training Succeeds during Pandemic
In February 2020, CHF Egypt's Women in Business Capacity Building Training Initiative had made an energetic start for the year, with more than 2,000 graduates from its financial and banking workshops held all over the country. Then, the COVID-19 pandemic hit Egypt as suddenly and unexpectedly as it did the rest of the world.
An Innovative Public-Private Partnership Supporting Zambian Farmers
The Zambia Emerging Farmers Partnership is providing support to 10,000 emerging farmers to help increase their productivity, incomes and sustainable farming practices. The project will leverage more than $37 million in loans for inputs and equipment.
Humanitarian Assistance Meets the Challenges of the COVID-19 Pandemic
The very real risk of the rapid spread of COVID-19 complicated already challenging situations for internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Syria and Yemen. Global Communities quickly pivoted programs to ensure the disruption to existing aid was minimal and IDPs received timely COVID-19 awareness and prevention messages.
Providing Critical Assistance following Hurricanes in Central America
After back-to-back hurricanes struck Central America in 2020, Global Communities and PCI, a Global Communities Partner, launched an integrated multi-sector response in the region to help those most affected by severe flooding, landslides and extensive damage to infrastructure and homes.
Pandemic Adaptation for Healthy Communities
In the early days of the pandemic, Global Communities acted quickly to support local partners as they worked to meet new needs. This included providing technical assistance and guidance to local governments on how to minimize the spread of infection and assist medical institutions with best practices.
