Japan has provided a US$1.36 million (¥200,000,000) contribution to the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) that will help provide critical food assistance for over 40,000 vulnerable people in Zimbabwe.
In a Press Statement, the WFP said Japan’s contribution, totals 1,304 metric tonnes of cereals, pulses, and vegetable oil.
The donation is expected to support food-insecure communities during the upcoming 2024/25 lean season—from October this year to March next year—ensuring the most vulnerable families receive essential assistance in time.
The Ambassador of Japan to Zimbabwe, His Excellency Shinichi Yamanaka, expressed his country’s commitment to supporting people in need of food aid. He said:
<blockquote>
Japan is committed to supporting communities in need of emergency food assistance. I hope that this assistance will help vulnerable people to overcome the current crisis.
</blockquote>
Through the Lean Season Assistance, WFP complements the Government of Zimbabwe’s Food Deficit Mitigation Strategy, which aims to mitigate household food stock depletion, minimise harmful coping mechanisms, and prevent the most vulnerable people from falling deeper into food insecurity.
Francesca Erdelmann, WFP’s Representative and Country Director, said Japan’s contribution will go a long way to mitigating the effects of El Nino. Said Erdelmann:
<blockquote>
We appreciate the generosity of the Government of Japan, as this donation will significantly contribute to our efforts in alleviating hunger and improving the lives of those most in need.
The coming lean season could see more people requiring food assistance due to the impact of El Niño. Japan’s contribution will go a long way to ensure we can help communities.
</blockquote>
The El Niño phenomenon will have significant consequences for food and nutrition security across the region.
Communities affected will have lower harvests and fewer livelihood opportunities, culminating in a deeper and earlier 2024/2025 lean season.
Japan is a long-standing partner of WFP’s assistance in Zimbabwe. Since 2019, Japan has contributed over US$25.5 million to WFP-supported food assistance and resilience-building for vulnerable communities in the country.

Japan Donates US$1.36 Million Food Aid To Zimbabwe

The Government says it will distribute food aid to 2.7 million people who are food insecure from January up to March 2024.
Speaking at a Press conference in Harare on Friday, 12 January, Public Service Labour and Social Welfare Minister, July Moyo, said that the Government was working with the World Food Programme (WFP).
He said the Government will cover 56 districts, while WFP will cover four districts namely Buhera, Mangwe, Mwenezi and Chivi. Moyo said (<a href="https://www.newsday.co.zw/local-news/article/200022013/govt-prepares-to-feed-27m-starving-people">via NewsDay</a>):
<blockquote>
Therefore, during the peak hunger period, between January and March 2024, it was projected that about 2 715 717 people would require food assistance.
The provinces with the highest food insecurity levels are Matabeleland North (42%) down from 58% from the previous year, Mashonaland Central (31%) and Masvingo Province (30%).
The most affected districts are Binga (62%), Kariba (60%), Mt Darwin (57%), Umguza (54%), Mbire (53%) and Mangwe (50%)…
The ministry requires 71 570mt [metric tonnes] of cereal to cater for the three months.
A total of ZWL$43.7 billion is required for the three months to cover the costs of registration of beneficiaries, grain transportation and distribution.
</blockquote>
Minister Moyo also said the Government had put in place measures to counter the effects of El Niño, which has adversely affected rainfall distribution during the ongoing 2023/24 rainy season. He said:
<blockquote>
The introduction of drought-tolerant crops that are distributed under the Presidential input scheme can help mitigate the drought effects. Communities in drought areas are encouraged to plant drought-resistant crops.
In addition, the government encourages households to practice the Pfumvudza/Intwasa concept, which tends to be producing good results.
The government also has projects that can also improve the food security of households.
These include the resuscitation of irrigation schemes, the drilling of boreholes, community gardens and income-generating projects.
</blockquote>
Previously, the Zimbabwe Human Rights NGO Forum and the Zimbabwe Peace Project have alleged that known opposition members have been excluded from accessing food aid sourced by the Government and humanitarian organisations.
Traditional leaders, particularly village heads, were accused of working with ZANU PF in the politicisation of food aid.

2.7 Million Zimbabweans Need Food Aid - Govt

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

Climate change has forced some subsistence farmers in Zimbabwe to abandon maize for traditional grains such as millet.
Jestina Nyamukunguvengu, from Rushinga District in Mashonaland Central Province, told <a href="https://www.africanews.com/2023/02/09/millet-is-the-new-maize-as-food-insecurity-piles-pressure//">africanews</a> she is confident of a bumper harvest after planting millet on her two-hectare plot where she used to grow maize. She said:
<blockquote>
We grew up farming millet, but we stopped it years back. The maize we adopted as our staple food, it needs a lot of water, so, we have returned to millet.
They are laborious to grow, and the work is hard, but it is worth it. It’s better to endure the pain because many people are surviving.
</blockquote>
Another Zimbabwean farmer, Maria Chagwena, said growing millet has enabled her to send her children to school. She said:
<blockquote>
I got a lot of money from millet farming, I even use the money to take my children to school, buy food and even build my house.
Recently I bought my roofing sheets for my house using the money I made from small grains after the WFP bought my millet.
I was so happy, and I can tell you I will never leave millet farming.
</blockquote>
These farmers are on the front lines of a project proposed by India that has led the U.N.’s Food and Agricultural Organisation to name 2023 as “The Year of Millets.”
In Rushinga District, land under millet reportedly almost tripled over the past decade.
The U.N.’s World Food Programme trained 63 000 small-scale farmers in drought-prone areas in the previous season and also deployed dozens of threshing machines and gave seed packs to the farmers.
Melody Tsoriyo, the district’s agronomist, said the growing of millet has improved food security for villagers. She said:
<blockquote>
You’ll find the ones who grew maize are the ones who are seeking food assistance, and those who have grown sorghum or pearl millet are still eating their small grains.
</blockquote>
WFP spokesman Tatenda Macheka said millets “are helping us reduce food insecurity” in Zimbabwe.

"Millet Is The New Maize In Zimbabwe" As Food Insecurity Piles Pressure

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has today [20 October 2022] contributed US$36.7 million on behalf of the American people to help the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) provide food assistance at the peak of the lean season between October and March next year.
In a year marked by COVID-19, climatic shocks, and food and fuel price hikes, the contribution will help WFP provide assistance to some 700 000 people in eight districts in Zimbabwe: Bikita, Buhera, Chivi, Hwedza, Mangwe, Mt. Darwin, Mudzi and Nkayi.
To cope during the lean season – the period between household food stock depletion and the next harvest – rural Zimbabweans often reduce the number of quality meals consumed daily and borrow or sell their productive assets.
Food assistance will help mitigate these negative coping strategies and stop the most vulnerable from sliding further into food insecurity.
The latest estimates from the Zimbabwe Vulnerability Assessment Committee (ZimVAC) report, coordinated by the Food and Nutrition Council, show that some 3.8 million people will not have enough cereal to eat during the peak of the upcoming lean season.
With the contributions from USAID and other donors, WFP will complement the national Food Deficit Mitigation Programme and distribute food in partnership with the Ministry of Public Service, Labour and Social Welfare to 3.8 million people. Said United States Mission Chargé d’ Affaires Elaine French:
<blockquote>
Achieving food security during Zimbabwe’s lean season is always challenging. Geopolitical events on the other side of the world have made it even more so this year. But the United States of America is ready to assist.
Today, I am happy to announce US$36.7 million for 2022/23 Lean Season Assistance funding provided by the U.S. Government for the people of Zimbabwe.
</blockquote>
<h2>Toward more resilient communities</h2>
To break the cycle of relapsing into food crises, USAID is aware that more investments are needed in resilience-building and early warning systems.
The chances that Zimbabwean smallholder farmers fall repeatedly into food insecurity decrease if they have access to productive assets and can save, borrow and lend money.
The U.S. Government has also pledged an additional US$9 million towards WFP’s food assistance for assets program in 2023.
Through this initiative, WFP will provide lifesaving food in exchange for work on community assets like feeder roads, community gardens, dams and irrigation systems.
The community-centred approach also promotes nutrition, gender equality, and social protection. Roberto Borlini, WFP Head of Programme in the country, said:
<blockquote>
WFP and the United States are committed to supporting humanitarian and social assistance for those who need it most in Zimbabwe.
While we will provide short-term assistance during this lean season, we will also continue creating livelihood opportunities, to increase the purchasing power of families, enabling them to meet their food needs.
</blockquote>
The latest contribution brings the total funding from USAID to WFP activities to US$44.2 million for 2022.
The United States remains the largest bilateral donor of emergency humanitarian assistance in Zimbabwe.

USAID and WFP Join Hands As Lean Season Sets-in Rural Zimbabwe

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) says it has established modalities to ensure that the allocation of food aid is not politicised in rural areas ahead of the 2023 general elections.
USAID on Thursday gave the World Food Programme (WFP) US$36 million worth of food aid that will be distributed to people living in rural areas who are facing food shortages.
USAID director for Humanitarian Assistance and Resilience, Marialice Ariens, said they are working with WFP and Government to make sure food aid reaches the needy. She said:
<blockquote>
The United States government takes targeting seriously. We have key beneficiary criteria when we decide who we are going to assist.
WFP also has a validation exercise, so a follow-up post the initial target to make sure that the people targeted are indeed the most vulnerable will be done.
</blockquote>
Opposition political parties have on numerous occasions accused ZANU PF of withholding food aid from perceived opposition supporters as a form of punishment and using the same to reward those who vote for the ruling party.
According to WFP, 3 million Zimbabweans are projected to face acute food shortage in the first quarter of 2023 owing to poor rainfall during the 2021/22 summer cropping season.
WFP head of programmes in Zimbabwe, Roberto Borlini said they will continue working in collaboration with the United States of America to support those in need of assistance. Said Borlini:
<blockquote>
WFP and the United States are committed to supporting humanitarian and social assistance for those who need it in Zimbabwe.
While we will provide short-term assistance during this lean season, we will also continue creating livelihood opportunities, to increase the purchasing power of families, enabling them to meet their food needs.

USAID Pledges To Guard Against Politicisation Of Food Aid

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>
