Challenge Partnerships Program Headquarters POC The Challenge Partnership Program is one method to leverage budgets and execute recreation and resource programs that may not be possible otherwise. This program allows the Corps to accept funds, materials, and services following the approval of a Challenge Partnership Agreement, to accomplish work programs; however it does not permit the Corps to reimburse for services. At this time, USACE has no authority or mechanism to give funds to a non-federal partner. The contributed resources are combined with regular project O&M resources to accomplish work within current authorities and contained in the annual or five-year plan in the approved operational management plan. Work is generally accomplished during one fiscal year. The Corps' Challenge Partnership Program is authorized in Section 225 of the Water Resources Development Act of 1992.
