Zambia: The Bank helps cushion the impact of COVID-19 with livestock and aquaculture projects

The African Development Bank has helped communities in Zambia acquire goods worth around $450,000 since mid-2020 to cushion vulnerable people from the impact of COVID-19. In the Nakonde district on the Tanzanian border, the Bank authorized the Zambian government to set aside $200,000 from a livestock project that was near completion to procure and distribute COVID-19 relief packages of food, livestock, farming inputs and medical materials.
