With rapid urbanization and increasing climate-induced shocks such as droughts, floods, and El Ni?o/La Ni?a events, the Regional Preparedness Initiative led by Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ in Southern Africa addresses the growing climate and food security crises affecting millions in the region. The initiative focuses on strengthening urban preparedness systems across five countries: Madagascar, Mozambique, Lesotho, Zimbabwe, and Malawi.
Annual Country Reports (ACR) are a key accountability document produced by country offices on a yearly basis which inform donors how their funds were used during the reporting year. Their purpose is to tell Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s performance story in an accurate, transparent and evidence-based manner by assessing the effectiveness, efficiency and economy of our operations in our pursuit towards zero hunger.
These evidence reports analyze the outcomes of the 2023/24 anticipatory action activations in four southern African countries: Lesotho, Madagascar, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. They present key recommendations on what worked well and areas for improvement to inform future activations in the region.
The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ (Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ) is actively engaged in reducing hunger and malnutrition, aligning its efforts with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly emphasising SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 17 (Partnerships). Recognising the complexity of global and regional challenges, Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has adopted a multifaceted approach tailored to individual countries.
Through 12 case studies, this report examines how the Fill the Nutrient Gap (FNG) analyses can be leveraged to enhance the ability of national social protection systems in addressing the affordability gaps of nutritious diets.
The evaluation was commissioned by the Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Office of Evaluation to provide evaluative evidence for accountability and learning to inform the design of the next country strategic plan (CSP) for Lesotho.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ is committed to scaling up Anticipatory Action programmes and protecting more people before extreme weather events strike. This page displays the activations that occur throughout the year. It shows the number of people reached and the types of anticipatory actions being implemented in each country. These AAs aim to prevent and/or lessen the humanitarian consequences of predicted shocks, while delivering a quicker, more cost-effective, and more dignified response.
The Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ Lesotho Country Office commissioned the decentralized evaluation covering the Country Capacity Strengthening (CCS) activities carried out from June 2019 to September 2023 in line with the Country Strategic Plan (CSP).
This publication presents results from a pilot project conducted in five schools in Lesotho where Electric Pressure Cookers were introduced to cook school meals.
This evaluation covers both the 2011 policy on disaster risk reduction and management (DRRM) and the 2017 climate change policy, given their conceptual, programmatic and organizational links.
Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ has operations in 12 countries in southern Africa. This factsheet provides an overview of Âé¶¹ÊÓÆµ¡¯s impact and achievements in the region in 2022
