USAID's FATA Institutional Strengthening Project (FISP) strengthens the ability of the FATA Secretariat (FS) and FATA Development Authority (FDA) to plan, manage, and oversee resilience and development activities, and become more effective and responsive to citizens' concerns. Through assistance in the areas of systems development, training, and critical information technology support, the project helps these institutions to develop and manage programs at the agency and community level, monitor their implementation, and engage in more effective communication.
