REGIONAL SUMMARY
-
In FY 2023, USAID’s Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance (USAID/BHA) provided nearly $111 million to partner organizations conducting early recovery, risk reduction, and resilience (ER4) activities in four countries across Southern Africa, as well as throughout the region. Populations in Southern Africa faced a range of challenges, including conflict-induced displacement, disease outbreaks, and severe weather events during FY 2023, and ER4 activities work to improve livelihoods while bolstering community resilience toward future shocks.
-
In Mozambique, USAID/BHA partner Save the Children Federation (SCF) and its partners continued the Okhokelamo project, a five-year Resilience Food Security Activity (RFSA) that aims to strengthen resilience to shocks and improve nutrition outcomes for infants and young children.
-
In Zimbabwe, USAID/BHA partner CARE led a
consortium of local partners to implement the Takunda project, another RFSA which helps achieve equitable and sustainable food and nutrition security in four districts across the country. -
In southern Madagascar, USAID/BHA partner Catholic Relief Services (CRS) continued working to reduce food insecurity and malnutrition among Androy and Atsimo Andrefana regions’ most vulnerable populations through the multi-year Maharo project. Activities under the RFSA aim to improve access to basic services, particularly during the lean season, and influence community behaviors to promote more resilient livelihood and agriculture practices.

USAID/BHA partner CARE continued to implement the Titukulane project in Malawi, a five-year RFSA which helped communities prepare for and more quickly recover from shocks, such as Tropical Cyclone Freddy in early 2023, while bolstering agricultural outputs and livelihoods.
