I've been checking into UN Development Program (UNDP) that you mentioned as an organization that followed Ghislaine Maxwell's TerraMar Project on Twitter. UNDP holds 5 federal grants for $23.6 million, including one from USAID for $14.2 million for "Mobile Banking - UN." Digging deeper into the transactions on USAspending, it refers to the disbursements to UNDP as being part of the USAID annual contribution to the UNCDF for the "Better than Cash Alliance." The Better Than Cash Alliance (Alliance) is a coalition of governments, businesses, and international organizations working to advance financial inclusion by shifting economies from cash to responsible digital payments. The Alliance was started in 2012 - at the same time payments from USAID to UNDP were made for $1 million or more in 2012, 2013, 2014. Hosted by the Sustainable Finance Hub, a platform led by UNDP, it leverages expertise, initiatives, and partnerships to mobilize resources for the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Per the Better than Cash website, the Alliance includes 33 governments in Africa, Asia, the Middle East and Latin America, as well as global companies like Coca-Cola, Gap Inc., H&M, Target, and Unilever, and more than a dozen UN and other international agencies. The list of international organizations includes: 🔹️ACDI/VOCA: Focuses on expanding global opportunities through economic development, agriculture, food security, and financial inclusion. 🔹️Arab Monetary Fund: Promotes economic integration and stability among Arab countries through financial cooperation. 🔹️CARE: Works to fight global poverty and deliver emergency aid, with a focus on gender equality and sustainable development. 🔹️Catholic Relief Services: Provides humanitarian aid and development assistance, guided by Catholic social teaching, to alleviate poverty; also partners with USCCB which is also a U.S. taxpayer funded HHS/ORR refugee agency. 🔹️Chemonics International: Offers global development solutions, specializing in health, education, and economic growth projects. 🔹️Clinton Global Initiative: Encourages innovative solutions to global challenges like climate change and public health through collaboration. 🔹️Concern Worldwide: Addresses severe poverty and responds to emergencies with a focus on nutrition and livelihoods. 🔹️European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD): Supports economic development and reconstruction in emerging markets, particularly in Europe. 🔹️Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO): Leads efforts to defeat hunger and improve agriculture, forestry, and fisheries globally. 🔹️Grameen Foundation: Empowers the poor, especially women, through microfinance and technology-driven development programs. Inter-American Development Bank (IDB): Finances sustainable development projects to reduce poverty and inequality in Latin America and the Caribbean. International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD): Invests in rural people and agriculture to enable food security and economic growth. 🔹️International Labour Organization (ILO): Promotes decent work and social justice through international labor standards and policies; a UN agency. 🔹️International Rescue Committee (IRC): Provides emergency aid and long-term support to refugees and displaced people worldwide; is also a U.S. taxpayer funded HHS/ORR refugee agency. 🔹️International Telecommunication Union (ITU): Coordinates global telecom networks and promotes access to information and communication technologies. Current Alliance Resource Partners include the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, the French Treasury, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development BMZ, Mastercard Foundation, the Swedish international Development Cooperation gency (Sida), the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO), and USAID.
