Participation by Religious Organizations in USAID Programs

This final rule implements Executive Branch policy that, within the framework of constitutional guidelines, religious (or "faith-based") organizations should be able to compete on an equal footing with other organizations for USAID funding. This final rule revises USAID regulations pertaining to grants, cooperative agreements and contracts awarded for the purpose of administering grant programs to ensure their compliance with this policy and to clarify that faith- based organizations are eligible to participate in programs on the same basis as any other organization, with respect to programs for which such other organizations are eligible.
