Introduction
Since its inception in 1987, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Limited Excess Property Program (LEPP) has leveraged approximately $1 billion (USD) worth of Federal surplus property. This property has helped build and strengthen the capacity of Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs) and their local implementing partners in over seventy (70) countries. LEPP partners have used Federal surplus equipment and supplies to outfit hospitals, clinics, group homes, infant feeding centers, vocational facilities, and schools. In doing so, partners have augmented the impact of their development projects in the communities they serve. Furthermore, USAID Missions have utilized property acquired through the LEPP for disaster response, capacity development, and to support local programs.
