The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomes a US$2 million contribution from the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) to support more than 2 000 vulnerable families in three urban areas over the next year.
Under the initiative, WFP will create assets and develop transformative skills that will improve vulnerable families’ and communities’ access to livelihood opportunities.
Targeted communities will benefit from community-shared assets such as greenhouses, and income-generation activities.
As part of the programme, WFP will provide internal savings and lending (ISAL) training to boost financial literacy among participants while the youth will undertake digital and vocational skills development training. USAID Acting Mission Director Priscilla Sampil said:
<blockquote>
The Urban Resilience program will improve the ability of these urban households to meet their basic food and nutrition needs while reducing the negative coping strategies and need for urgent assistance.
This is our third round of USAID funding to the World Food Programme’s Urban Resilience Program, demonstrating the U.S. government’s commitment to tackling food insecurity and poverty in urban areas.
</blockquote>
Approximately 1.5 million people living in urban areas are food insecure according to the latest government assessments.
People who live in urban areas have fewer opportunities for subsistence livelihoods compared to rural areas.
As a result, most urban residents live hand-to-mouth, working multiple jobs in the informal sector.
Unless assistance is provided urgently, people will continue to face constraints due to economic challenges as a result of inflation and rising food costs. 
Francesca Erdelmann, the WFP Representative and Country Director, said:
<blockquote>
Zimbabwean cities are growing and face the challenge to provide decent livelihoods for their dwellers.
With USAID’s support, we will continue supporting income-generating activities while working with national and local institutions to advance policies and social protection for the urban poor.
</blockquote>
Since Zimbabwe’s independence in 1980, the United States has invested nearly $4.5 billion in Zimbabwe through initiatives to enhance food security, support economic resilience, improve health outcomes, and promote democratic governance.
USAID’s latest contribution to WFP’s food and resilience activities in Zimbabwe brings the total contributions from the United States to over US$8.9 million this year.

USAID Extends US$2 Million To WFP To Address Urban Food Insecurity In Zimbabwe

The Government of Zimbabwe has donated 4 400 metric tonnes of maize grain to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) to meet the food needs of refugees living at Tongogara Refugee Camp in Chipinge.
The Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare, Simon Masanga said:
<blockquote>
We have international obligations so we have agreed at the international level to host refugees in this country.
As the President said, no one should ever die of hunger in this country, it also includes 16 000 refugees at Tongogara.
I want to put it on record that the government remains committed to improving the welfare of refugees at Tongogara.
</blockquote>
According to <a href="https://zbcnews.co.zw/2023/06/19/govt-donates-maize-to-world-food-programme/">ZBC News</a>, the partnership, WFP will cover the costs of transport, storage, handling, milling and fortification of the maize.
The WFP Representative and Country Director in Zimbabwe, Francesca Erdelmann said:
<blockquote>
We are together to formalise the government’s donation to the United Nations World Food Programme of 4 400 Metric tonnes of maize grain for refugees living in Tongogara Refugee Camp in Chipinge.
WFP thanks the Government of Zimbabwe for this contribution which offers an important lifeline to this vulnerable population.
Around the world, refugees are living further away from home, more than ever before, so we are heartened to see that countries like Zimbabwe are putting forward solutions and working to ensure that refugees have a better life.
Thanks to the maize contribution from the Government of Zimbabwe, refugees will receive monthly transfers of micronutrient-fortified maize meal complemented with cash, aiming to meet their daily nutrition requirements.
The in-kind maize contribution will be twinned with WFP funds to cover the cost of transport, storage, handling, milling and distribution.
The first batch of some 2 170 MTs will be uplifted in the upcoming weeks.
</blockquote>
Tongogara Refugee Camp was established in 1984. It was named after <a href="https://pindula.co.zw/Josiah_Tongogara">Josiah Tongogara</a>, a former commander of the Zimbabwe African National Liberation Army who died shortly before Zimbabwe gained independence in 1980.
The camp was initially set up to accommodate refugees fleeing the civil war in Mozambique, but it has since also taken in refugees from other countries such as the Democratic Republic of Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, and Somalia.
At its peak in the mid-2000s, the camp was home to over 20,000 refugees, but the numbers have since decreased due to repatriation, resettlement, and voluntary return programs.
The camp is managed by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) in partnership with the government of Zimbabwe and various humanitarian organizations.

Zimbabwe Donates Maize To World Food Programme

The UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) says it is planning a food relief programme targeting 700 000 people in Zimbabwe.
The country’s food deficit has been exacerbated by a poor harvest and the Ukraine war.
WFP country representative Francesca Edelmann on Tuesday told Reuters that Zimbabwe’s government is working with agencies to provide food aid for 3.8 million people.
WFP has budgeted US$40 million for the food aid programme to cushion millions over the peak of the hunger season. Said Edelmann:
<blockquote>
I do not think this is a famine as yet, but that does not mean that it is good. We are preparing for a response that will take off in October up to March.
We are working with government on a joint plan for the food deficit mitigation programme and that is for 3.8 million people.
</blockquote>
Zimbabwe requires 2.2 million tonnes of maize annually for human and livestock consumption.
However, the govenment has said it expects 1.56 million tonnes from the 2021-2022 growing season due to poor rainfall.
Edelmann said the number of food insecure people had risen from 2.9 million to 3.8 million.
WFP warned that more households could go hungry as grain stocks dwindle. | <a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/9/13/wfp-plans-food-relief-for-700000-citizens-in-zimbabwe">Al Jazeera</a>

WFP Plans Food Relief For 700 000 People In Zimbabwe

The government of Japan has donated another US$500 000 to the World Food Programme (WFP) towards the provision of food aid to Zimbabweans.
In a statement on Tuesday, Japan’s Ambassador to Zimbabwe, Satoshi Tanaka, said:
<blockquote>
In collaboration with WFP, the people of Japan continue to support the most vulnerable in Zimbabwe to address their immediate food needs during the lean season.
</blockquote>
WFP’s representative and country director, Francesca Edelmann, welcomed the donation saying it has come at the right time. Said, Edelmann:
<blockquote>
Not only has poor rainfall during the recent growing season resulted in widespread crop failure, but prices of food, fuel, and fertiliser have also surged due to the conflict in Ukraine.
Families are now being forced to sell off livestock and other precious belongings to be able to buy food.
</blockquote>
Since 2019, Japan has contributed over US$24.6 million to WFP-supported food assistance and resilience-building for vulnerable communities in Zimbabwe.
The Asian country, which is the third-largest economy in the world, has also provided nutrition support for pregnant women in maternity waiting homes.
In 2021, Japan contributed US$5.75 million through the WFP to support vulnerable, food insecure communities in Zimbabwe.

Japan Releases More Funds For Food Aid In Zimbabwe

<blockquote>
ROME– With COVID-19 aggravating an already severe hunger crisis in Zimbabwe, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) today appealed for an additional US$250 million to support a rapidly expanding emergency operation for millions at-risk.
WFP projections indicate that by year’s end, the number of food-insecure Zimbabweans will have surged by almost 50 percent to touch 8.6 million – a staggering 60 percent of the population – owing to the combined effects of drought, economic recession and the pandemic.
“Many Zimbabwean families are suffering the ravages of acute hunger, and their plight will get worse before it gets better”, said Lola Castro, WFP’s Regional Director for Southern Africa. “We need the international community to step up now to help us prevent a potential humanitarian catastrophe.”
A nationwide lockdown, reinforced last week, has precipitated massive joblessness in urban areas, while rural hunger is accelerating because now unemployed migrants are returning to their villages and the absence of the vital remittances they provided is more keenly felt.
Subsistence farming families who make-up three-quarters of Zimbabwe’s population and produce most of its food are also hurting because of a third successive drought-hit harvest this year. It yielded only 1.1 million MT of maize, the staple cereal, well down on last year’s already poor 2.4 million MT and less than half the national requirement. This, in turn, presages even more severe hunger in early 2021, the peak of the next “lean” season.
Hyperinflation is a feature of the country’s profound economic crisis and has pushed the prices of basics beyond the means of many Zimbabweans. Last month, maize prices more than doubled in Harare, the capital. Increasingly desperate families are eating less, selling off precious belongings and going into debt.
With maize set to be an increasingly untenable crop in many arid regions of the country as temperatures rise, WFP is promoting the cultivation of drought-resistant, nutritious and indigenous alternatives like sorghum and millet. This is part of a broader campaign to help vulnerable communities build resilience to increasingly frequent and severe climate shocks.
Donations permitting, WFP intends to assist 4 million of the most vulnerable this year – those suffering “crisis” and “emergency” hunger – and scale up to 5 million in January-April next year, the peak of the lean season.
As the already dire situation worsens, more contributions are urgently needed. This month, for lack of funding, WFP will only reach 700,000 of 1.8 million intended recipients. 
WFP is grateful to donors supporting its emergency response to COVID-19 in Zimbabwe, including the United States, the United Kingdom, CERF, the European Commission, France, Switzerland, Sweden and Germany.  
The United Nations World Food Programme – saving lives in emergencies and changing lives for millions through sustainable development. WFP works in more than 80 countries around the world, feeding people caught in conflict and disasters, and laying the foundations for a better future.

FULL TEXT: WFP Urgently Seeks International Support To Prevent Millions Of Zimbabweans Plunging Deeper Into Hunger

World Food Programme (WFP) country director Eddie Rowe has revealed that up to 1.1 million people in the rural areas face hunger at the peak of the coming lean season. The lean season is from October to March. Speaking in Zvishavane, Rowe said:
<blockquote>The recent ZimVac [Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee] report on rural livelihoods still estimates that up to 1,1 million people will face food insecurity in the coming months. We know that now is the time to devote all our efforts to enhancing the abilities of communities and households to recover and build resilience for future shocks.</blockquote>
At the same event, Chinese Ambassador to Zimbabwe Huang Ping said his country has donated another $5m to be used during the lean period. Huang said
<blockquote>In 2016, China provide $1m for lean season assistance and productive asset creation, for which we are holding the handover now.
And today, I have more good news to share with you. Just several days ago, the Chinese government decided to donate $5m to Zimbabwe through WFP in 2017 which will be spent in the 2017-2018 lean season on assistance and support to refugees, benefitting approximately 107 000 people.</blockquote>
