Swaziland -Emergency food assistance to Populations Affected by the 2005 drought

The Emergency food assistance to Populations Affected by the 2005 drought is designed because of the acute phase of chronic emergency facing the Kingdom of Eswatini. This intervention aims to contribute to the alleviation of the suffering of the drought-affected victims in the country. This should target vulnerable individuals and households with the primary objective of saving lives and preserving livelihoods, and should be distributed through programming categories such as Food Security, Health and Nutrition, HIV/AIDS, and Education. The emergency relief assistance operation is funded through a grant from the Bank’s Special Relief Fund (SRF). The intervention of the Bank should be used for buying approximately 1,000 tons of maize in South African, transport and distribution costs.
