Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

According to bank provided information, the present Emergency Food and Nutrition Security for Children is designed because of the country’s severe drought in the provinces of Lunda Norte, Bié, Huíla, Namibe and Cunene, aggravated by below-average and erratic rainfall and inadequate. The humanitarian condition in the drought-prone provinces has deteriorated as a result of the high basic commodity prices, limited access to clean water and reach of hygiene services mainly due to lack of infrastructures. The project will focus on supporting the immediate response to acute malnutrition, and sustain the early recovery of food-insecure families, comprising: provision and distribution of Ready-to-Use-Therapeutic-Food (RUTF) and Ready to Use Supplementary Food (RUSF) in the health facilities; support of Community Management of Acute Malnutrition (CMAM) coverage, through the provision of capacity building to municipal health staff, community health workers (CHW), orphanages’ workers, and health technicians in the outpatient nutrition centers to successfully implement CMAM activities; support to existing Community Children Centers (CICs), Community Education Centers (CECs), and orphanages, with local foods to reduce malnutrition; and distribution of seeds with high nutritious value. The total emergency assistance contribution will be USD 1,000,000. The funds provided by the Bank are restricted and earmarked for humanitarian assistance to the affected populations.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF AfDB

The Independent Review Mechanism (IRM), which is administered by the Compliance Review and Mediation Unit (CRMU), is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an African Development Bank (AfDB)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the IRM, it may assist you by either seeking to address your problems by facilitating a dispute resolution dialogue between you and those implementing the project and/or investigating whether the AfDB complied with its policies to prevent environmental and social harms. You can submit a complaint electronically by emailing crmuinfo@afdb.org, b.kargougou@afdb.org, b.fall@afdb.org, and/or s.toure@afdb.org.
