Summary
Food insecurity in Eswatini was aggravated in 2021 by the COVID-19 pandemic, a poor harvest, escalating food prices, limited income-earning opportunities, deepening poverty and civil unrest. WFP continued to provide technical support and engage in capacity strengthening on the basis of three strategic objectives. Under strategic outcome 1, it provided cash and food transfers to targeted food insecure households in 20 constituencies to enable them to meet their basic food needs. Under strategic outcome 2, WFP engaged in capacity strengthening activities and support to smallholder farmers to improve their access to markets, not least by linking them to the home-grown school feeding (HGSF) project. A total of 672 smallholder farmers - 61% of them women - sold produce to WFP. Under strategic outcome 3, WFP supported national social protection system actors in identifying and assisting the most food insecure and nutritionally vulnerable populations. The support included nutritious meals for 55,000 orphans and vulnerable children in pre-primary NCPs and meals for 24,392 children in primary and secondary school. A total of 232 households with people living with HIV participated in livelihood activities. Capacity strengthening support was also provided to the Government and NGOs for the generation, management and use of food security monitoring and analysis.
