No district, region or facility is named in this program's documents yet. Place dots exist for Malawi and Guatemala only so far. Towns and natural features are not drawn.
Countries where this program operated, set by the countries its documents name most often. Countries only tagged on documents are listed apart. Source: document tags, scope rule
Scope: global. Set by the countries the program's documents name most often. Medium confidence.
How sure we are: 0.667.
When the program ran, from its start year to the latest document year. A hatched bar means the start is our estimate. Source: award and document years
Axis: award years, end from years in documents. The start year comes from award fiscal year; the end is the latest document year, so the program may have run longer.
Who started the program, and which administration it began under. Timing only; it does not say who started it. Source: initiative records, start year
