Drought and COVID-19 Pandemic in Lesotho: Agriculture, Food Security and Protection Support to Vulnerable Communities A national emergency due to a severe drought was declared in late October 2019 in which 508,000 people were considered food insecure for the October 2019-March 2020 period. The recent LVAC (April 2020) rapid crop assessment report projects that from April to September 2020, the food insecure population in Lesotho will rise to 899,287 people. This represents an increase of 40 percent in rural areas and 58 percent in urban areas. The situation has been exacerbated by the socio-economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Lesotho is almost entirely dependent on South Africa for its agricultural input supplies. The current containment measures have already affected the availability and access to food in the market, by restricting food supply chains, consumer spending and purchasing power. Moreover, the closure of borders has left many Basotho migrants vulnerable and in need of humanitarian assistance. The Action will include interventions by WFP, IOM and FAO, assisting a total of 93, 008 vulnerable people with the aim to save lives and reduce the impact of consecutive years of drought exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
