Children Social Food Safety Net
In May 2025, WFP provided support to 26,628 orphaned and vulnerable children (OVCs) in 861 neighbourhood care points (NCPs). WFP is also supporting the government of Eswatini with the development of standard operating procedures for NCPs to provide guidelines for the Social Centres in alignment with the NCP strategy. This aims to improve the efficiency and standardization of NCP operations while fostering accountability and ensuring proper registration of NCPs.
Livelihood Projects
Under the UBRAF-funded livelihoods support, WFP has assisted 30 beneficiaries with income-generating activities aimed at strengthening resilience among vulnerable populations affected by HIV. The project focuses on improving food and nutrition security through sustainable livelihoods, particularly for individuals living with or affected by HIV and those living with disability. In May 2025 four beneficiaries who were awaiting delivery of layer chickens have now received them and have started selling eggs, contributing to improved household income and self-reliance.
