Project narrative

According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) Financial Tracking Service (flow ID #103428), on 8 October 2012, the Chinese government donated $294,888 USD in cash to the World Food Programme (WFP) for households affected by severe crop failure in Lesotho (UN project code is LSO-12/F/52075/561). The purpose of this project was to "protect livelihoods and enhance self-reliance of 29000 households in Northern Lowlands, Senqu River Valley and in the mountains where environmental degradation is undermining crop production and sustainability of multiple livelihood activities. Assistance will be provided through Cash for Asset and Cash for Work aimed at rehabilitating the infrastructure and protecting assets". This is a sub-project of umbrella Record ID#30591.
