What the documents show
The 2016 exit.al article (based on DC Leaks files) says OSFA drafted a strategy in 2013 and funded a 2014 expert assessment. That document is not verified. The USAID denial is consistent with EWMI's project page, which names EWMI as implementer and does not mention OSFA, but it does not prove a negative.
