In October 2018, USAID and Peace Corps celebrated the 35th anniversary of their joint Small Projects Assistance (SPA) Program. SPA grants are dedicated to fostering locally led development in communities worldwide.  The two U.S. government agencies also celebrated important findings from the 2018 performance evaluation of SPA, which highlight the sustainability of activities funded under the grants portion of the $18 million SPA IV program (FY13-FY17; AID-PPL-T-12-00002).
