USAID/DCHA/OFDA Annual Program Statement (APS) for Supporting Food Security for Extremely Vulnerable Communities in Southern Africa: USAID/DCHA/OFDA would like to support programs under this APS that mitigate risk in highly vulnerable populations due to recurrent drought or periods of highly variable/erratic rainfall. The end goal of these mitigation programs is to strengthen community food security resilience as measured by a reduction in the number of communities that need external food aid on a regular basis. Improved water and land management, including water harvesting, micro-irrigation, conservation farming, pasture management and drought tolerant seed, are examples of past or ongoing USAID/DCHA/OFDA response programs in Southern Africa that have shown success for achieving this goal.
