Since 2010 the Disaster Assistance Partnerships (DAP), now operating as the IFHE Programme Recovery and Renewal Committee (IFHE PRRC) has supported home economics and family and consumer science programmes in developing countries affected by disasters.

Today, the IFHE PRRC functions not only as a reponse mechanism after natural disaster but, also as a platform for revitalizing and enhancing home economics education. These community driven initiatives should align with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The purpose of the IFHE Programme Recovery and Renewal Committee (IFHE PRRC) is to:
1. Support the ongoing renewal and recovery efforts of communities.
2. Revitalize, strengthen, and promote Home Economics programmes.
3. Facilitate access to resources for needs-based Home Economics initiatives worldwide.
4. Inspire recipients to become positive, preventative agents of change in society.
5. Empower recipients to build resilience and self-sufficiency.
6. Evaluate the effectiveness and impact of the assistance provided.

Grant Funding for Strengthening Home Economics Programmes Worldwide is now open. Scan the QR Code for application. More information is also available on the IFHE website https://www.ifhe.org/initiatives/programme-recovery-and-renewal
