Support of the Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation of the World Food Programme in Mozambique



Contract partner: WFP - World Food Programme Country: Mosambik Funding amount: € 200.000,00 Project start: 01.12.2005 End: 31.12.2008

Short Description:

Overall goal


A massive international aid operation over the past two years has helped to prevent a serious humanitarian crisis in Southern Africa. Although some parts of the region have registered marked improvements in cereal crop production, the 2004 crop, food and vulnerability assessments of the World Food Programme (WFP) found that 5 million people in rural areas will continue to face critical food shortages of varying duration in the upcoming years.


The Austrian contribution will support the Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) of the World Food Programme (WFP) with a special focus on Mozambique. The regional PRRO offers a programming framework for multi-sectoral activity to support food-insecure households affected by erratic climate and people affected by HIV/AIDS and extreme poverty. Safety-net programmes for vulnerable populations and therapeutic supplementary feeding for people susceptible to food shortages will continue. Food-for-work activities and vocational training will support alternative income-creation and contribute to strengthening community structures. School feeding will provide incentives to keep children in school, especially girls and orphans.

    • Others - various other donors are listed in ADA’s annual business report.
  • Type of Aid – Aid modalities: classifies transfers from the donor to the first recipient of funds such as budget support, core contributions and pooled programmes and funds to CSOs and multilateral organisations, project-type interventions, experts and other technical assistance, scholarships and student costs in donor countries, debt relief, administrative costs and other in-donor expenditures.
  • Purpose/ sector code: classifies the specific area of the recipient’s economic or social structure, funded by a bilateral contribution.
  • Tied/Untied: Untied aid is defined as loans and grants whose proceeds are fully and freely available to finance procurement from all OECD countries and substantially all developing countries. Transactions are considered tied unless the donor has, at the time of the aid offer, clearly specified a range of countries eligible for procurement which meets the tests for “untied” aid.
