AIDE HUMANITAIRE D'URGENCE AU SUD

This intervention is part of a solidarity approach and serves to support the efforts of the Government and other technical and financial partners to provide emergency humanitarian assistance to mitigate the risks of food insecurity in southern Madagascar. The Bank's assistance is for emergency support to ensure agricultural production for the most vulnerable households. The US $ 500,000 emergency relief operation focuses on supporting vulnerable populations with seeds of cereals, legumes, cassava cuttings and sweet potato vines, as well as other tools and inputs during the off-season 2007 and the 2007-2008 season. The duration of the operation should not exceed a period of twelve (12) months.
