This innovative program utilizes a whole-of-government approach, bringing together the comparative advantages of PC and USAID in implementing two Presidential Initiatives: Global Health Initiative (GHI) and Feed the Future (FTF).In FY 2014, $500,000 in GHI funds and $135,000 in FTF funds will be used for volunteer support costs, volunteer infrastructure support, and staff salaries. Thirty-five new Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) will join the previous 50 in Nepal in FY 2014. The PCVs will support both FTF and GHI objectives. PCVs will work in nutrition, business, and agriculture, and may also support capacity building, monitoring and evaluation, and community assessments.
