Project Overview

The Emergency Locust Response Project (ELRP) is a 3-year Government-owned project funded by the World Bank. It focuses on providing a mix of investments that contribute to reducing food and nutrition insecurity for households and communities affected by the impacts of the locust upsurge in the country.

Key Project Components

The project also supports most vulnerable households to receive direct cash support to recover from the devastating impact of the Desert Locusts and food insecurity.
