The main aim of the Zambia Economic Resilience for Improved Food Security Program (ZERS) is to enhance coping skills, build assets, and increase rural income for 50,000 vulnerable and poor households in Eastern Province. This will contribute to MDG 1 of halving the proportion of Zambians living in extreme poverty and suffering from hunger by 2015.

The United States Of America Agency for International Development Mission in Zambia (USAID/Zambia) is therefore calling for applications under the ZERS program. ZERS will be a core activity in implementing U.S. President Obama’s Feed the Future (FTF) global hunger and food security initiative in Zambia. ZERS will contribute to FTF’s overarching goal to sustainably reduce global hunger and poverty by tackling their root causes and employing proven strategies for achieving large scale and lasting impact.
Total grants available amount to $24,000,000 over 5 years. $20,000,000 of these funds is for economic resilience and nutrition activities while about $4,000,000 is for HIV/AIDS related components.
