LEPP's Mission:
The Limited Excess Property Program (LEPP) provides Private Voluntary Organizations (PVOs) and USAID missions access to federal surplus property to support their humanitarian and development projects abroad. LEPP utilizes an innovative model of recovery and reuse to support a variety of development projects that promote sustainability in developing countries.
LEPP's Principles:
LEPP works to increase the quality and volume of USG surplus property accessed and safely utilized by a diverse group of program partners and donation recipients.
We work to improve the quality and efficiency of the program by streamlining and standardizing procedures required to access USG surplus property that conforms to approved policies, practices, and procedures.
We leverage the transfer of USG surplus property to increase public diplomacy opportunities in countries where LEPP operates and bolster the potential development and humanitarian outcomes of programs utilizing the donations.
