Food Systems Resilience Programme (FSRP): Explainer video

The Centre for Coordination of Agricultural Research and Development for Southern Africa is currently implementing the Food Systems Resilience Programme (FSRP), a World Bank funded multi-phase initiative. The first phase of six-year duration is focusing on Madagascar and CCARDESA in Southern Africa, and Ethiopia and Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) in East Africa. In late May, the World Bank Group’s Board of Executive Directors approved $903 million in International Development Association (IDA) financing for Comoros ($40 million), Kenya ($150 million), Malawi ($250 million), Somalia ($150 million), Tanzania ($300 million) and the African Union Commission ($13 million) as part of the second and third phases of FSRP.

FSRP is aimed at increasing the resilience of food systems and preparedness against food insecurity in the participating countries.
