dissemination), improved data management and reporting at health, referral and police offices. Macro Financial Strategy Options Promote the long term storage of water in the major reservoirs as a national development strategy given the high reliance on water for domestic use and crop and animal production. Increased maize area grown under irrigation and build energy generation. Provide regional development funds for community development and resilience projects. Provide funds for youth development and increase funds for other vulnerable groups (orphans and vulnerable children, the elderly, the disabled). Targeting Health & Nutrition: • Children under age 5 (13.6%) + 56, 417, PLW (25% of total pop) = 103,708 • People living with HIV = 60,000, • People living with non-communicable diseases (NCD) (12% of total pop) = 497,780 Education: • Schools affected by water shortages WASH: • In communities where water system has been affected or are non-existent. Agriculture & Food Security: • Food insecure people and vulnerable livestock owners Response to date A total of 8,750 tonnes of food has been provided to 158,000 people by the Swaziland National Disaster Management Agency (NMDA) and humanitarian partners in the affected areas. Cash vouchers have been provided to 21,000 people in Shiselweni. Food and nutrition gardens have been established for 25,000 people and in 100 schools. The Ministry of Agriculture has provided 2,600 bales of hay and 300,000 litres of water to farmers in 11 constituencies. Under the WASH Cluster, 26 boreholes have been constructed in affected communities and schools; 60 and toilets have been constructed in 19 schools in Shiselweni. The Health and Nutrition Cluster is conducting national deworming, measles & rubella vaccination campaigns for all school going and under age 5 children; 700 health workers have been sensitized on drought-related diseases and conditions and their treatment. The Social Protection Cluster has distributed 125 dignity packs for visibly pregnant women and 100 dignity packs for adolescent girls, and trained 96 social workers/ actors on protection issues. More assessments are underway to revise planning of interventions. The NDMA has activated strategic and technical inter cluster coordination structures at national and regional levels. All clusters have developed implementation and targeting plans at constituency level and each partner allocated a geographic area to avoid duplication. NDMA is mapping ongoing and planned interventions and requirements, and is leading and coordinating resource mobilisation to fill in the funding gaps. Gaps A lack of funding for the drought response is the most significant limiting factor, affecting the capacity of the Government and implementing agencies to expand to meet the needs of the most affected. As of 1 June 2016, the total revised requirements for the Swaziland National Emergency Response, Mitigation and Adaptation Plan (NERMAP) is $92 million, of which only US$7 million has been realised. There is lack of assigned focal points and disaster response managers (both in Government and partner organizations) are overwhelmed with competing demands. This is affecting monitoring, evaluation and resource tracking of the response. Lack of mapping of institutional skills and capacities for stakeholders is negatively affecting coordination and response.
