International Development & Humanitarian Assistance
International Disaster Response Management
Delivering Results When Every Minute Matters.
The effects of a disaster are immediate and long-lasting. When disaster strikes, communities are left without basic necessities such as food, water and shelter. Livelihoods are threatened, critical resources diminish and infrastructure crumbles.
Macfadden follows a proven and robust approach to project management that helps coordinate long-term disaster response solutions and strategies to ensure relief operations run smoothly, efficiently and without delay. Supporting the U.S. Agency for International Development’s (USAID) Bureau for Democracy Conflict and Humanitarian Assistance (DCHA), Macfadden serves as the principle humanitarian assistance contractor. We have supported USAID in its response to more than 700 disasters and complex emergencies, including responses to several of the world’s most destructive natural disasters including the Indonesian Tsunami; earthquakes in Haiti and China; flooding in Pakistan; famine in Ethiopia; and the ongoing complex emergency in Darfur, Sudan. In 2010 alone, Macfadden staff members were deployed to 15 countries as part of international disaster response efforts.
Program Management Operations Support
Delivering Results with a Proven Approach.
Macfadden's staff provides the critical project and program management expertise required by government agencies to fulfill their mission. Whether operating in the fragile, unstable environment of disaster response or managing large federal programs that require transparent and collaborative teamwork, Macfadden applies the precepts of many best practices and process standards, including Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) and ISO 9001:2008, to achieve enterprise-wide process improvement.
Democracy & Governance
Delivering Results that Promote Peace and Prosperity.
Expanding global democracy is a key goal of U.S. foreign policy. Macfadden provides technical, administrative, logistics and program level support to U.S. government agencies tasked with promoting democracy worldwide. Macfadden is committed to helping countries in transition strengthen local governance through transparency and accountability, encourage economic growth, support social development, protect human rights and expand security.


Macfadden continues to support emergency preparedness efforts as a part of USAID's Stamping Out Pandemic and Avian Influenza (STOP AI) team.
