Madagascar - Emergency aid in response to Cyclone Freddy

This project concerns a grant of up to FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS (USD 500,000) to Madagascar from the Special Relief Fund to assist the rural population affected by the effects of Cyclone FREDDY. The Bank's donation will be used to support the efforts of the Government and other technical and financial partners to provide emergency humanitarian aid to the populations affected by Cyclone FREDDY. When Cyclone FREDDY hit Madagascar, several regions were affected, causing both human and material damage. There have been cases of death, and homes have been destroyed, leaving many people homeless. This emergency aid will be implemented by the WFP, which is used to intervening in similar situations. This aid will provide 32,619 people with food for two months. The operation must be implemented as quickly as possible and its total duration must not exceed six (6) months from the date of approval.
