ProjectPromoting Stable Incomes and Food Security for Rural Communities in Eswatini - GCP/SWA/025/IFA 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The outbreak of COVID-19 had a severe impact in Eswatini, with the measures taken to address the crisis exacerbating an existing and underlying national food insecurity challenge. This is due to below average agricultural production, resulting in a 49 per cent deficit in national consumption requirements, compounded by soaring food prices. Restrictions in mobility and the partial lockdown immediately reduced incomes from micro, medium and small-scale enterprises, as well as informal jobs and self-employment activities. The impact of COVID-19 in Eswatini is magnified by the country’s vulnerability to recurrent climate-related and external shocks, with drought, dry spells, heatwaves, flash floods, hailstorms and a heavy burden of epidemics (HIV and AIDS, cholera, diarrhoeaand malaria) posing the highest risks. In this context, the main objective of the project was to provide a systemic stimulus and cushion for small-scale agricultural producers, transporters and traders in the agro-food value chain. In particular, it aimed to stimulate and stabilize the disrupted agro-food system by providing a productive social protection cushion for poor agricultural producers, transporters and traders. -
ProjectSupport Vulnerable Households in Tigray in Response to the Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis - TCP/ETH/3804 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The protracted conflict in Tigray region that began in November 2020 has disrupted agricultural livelihood activities and caused massive displacement, high levels of food insecurity, limited access to services and the destruction of the local economy. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report, released in June 2021, about 5.5 million people were in a situation of high acute food insecurity. Widespread emergency and crisis outcomes were likely across Tigray region, with the worst-affected populations in the eastern, central and north-western areas. Internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees and host community households were increasingly vulnerable because of their lack of access to agricultural inputs and a chronic shortage of basic services. High prices of agricultural inputs and products reduced purchasing power at a household level, which in turn exacerbated acute and chronic vulnerabilities among significant segments of the population.
