The Mitigating Impacts of COVID19 on Household Food Security Project (C19-HFS) is a supplement to the Agriculture Productivity and Market Enhancement Project (APMEP), both financed with Grant resources from the GAFSP Multi-Donor Trust Fund. APMEP is being implemented in Sinazongwe, Gwembe, Chongwe, Rufunsa, Serenje and Chitambo Districts. C19-HFS will be implemented over 2 years in the same districts. The sector goal is to contribute to economic growth and food security.

C19-HFS is mainly aligned to supplement and boost food security through components 1, 2 and 3 (Nutrition). The Project will be mainly financed by a GAFSP Grant of USD 1.40 (UA 0.97) million.
