OIA OMIP Grants

OMIP Grant Awardees

The Operations and Maintenance Improvement Program (OMIP) is part of the Technical Assistance Program in the Office of Insular Affairs (OIA), which designed OMIP to create and to support institutions that enhance the capability of the governments of the insular areas and the freely associated states (FAS) to maintain their capital infrastructure. Specific areas that OIA has targeted for OMIP assistance are water, sewage or power systems, solid waste disposal, roads, ports, airports, schools and other public buildings. OIA manages OMIP frequently with the assistance of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, particularly in the Pacific insular areas and the FAS.

The Office of Insular Affairs is pleased to announce the approval of the following grants under the Operations and Maintenance Improvement Program (OMIP).
