Project General Description
The proposed operation is the Bank Group’s immediate response to the appeal by the Government of Malawi for urgent humanitarian assistance following the declaration of a State of Disaster in 14 districts in the Southern Region of the country because of the devastation caused by Cyclone Freddy. This is an emergency relief assistance from the Bank Group to the Government of Malawi to support ongoing humanitarian efforts by the government and other development partners to save lives and address the immediate and short-term needs of the displaced people affected by the devastations caused by Cyclone Freddy. The activities that would be supported by the grant will make significant contribution towards assuring access to food by the affected population as well as improving the living conditions in the campsites through provision of water treatment accessories and blankets.
Project Objectives
The Bank’s total grant of US$ 1,000,000.00 (One Million United States Dollars) will help to support early recovery efforts in Malawi. It is expected that the support will directly contribute towards enhancing the food and nutrition security of the affected population and improve the living conditions in the targeted emergency camping sites. Specifically, the fund will be used to purchase maize flour, beans, soya pieces, cooking oil, blankets, water treatment kits, buckets, plates, and cups. Included are also resources for financial and procurement audits of the emergency operation.
Beneficiaries
These funds would be utilized solely for the purpose of providing urgent humanitarian assistance to the people affected by Cyclone Freddy through the Government of Malawi. |
