The project will be financed with grant resources from three sources: a grant of UA 19.76 million (USD 26 million) from the Prevention Envelope of the Transition Support Facility (TSF), a grant of USD 8 million from the ADRiFi Multi-Donor Trust Fund (ADRiFi MDTF) and co-financing of USD 2.1 million from the beneficiary countries. The Government of Malawi will make an in-kind contribution of USD 0.6 million while the Government of Zimbabwe will make a cash contribution of USD 1.5 million (USD 0.5 million annually) towards the sovereign drought insurance premium.
