South Korea, in collaboration with the World Food Programme, has donated 4,896 metric tonnes of rice valued at N$61 million to the Office of the Prime Minister. This contribution is aimed at supporting the drought relief programme for 2024/2025.

The rice will be distributed to vulnerable communities across all 14 regions.

Prime Minister Dr. Elijah Ngurare says the support couldn't have come at a better time, as it will also support those recently affected by floods in the Zambezi Region as well as those facing malnutrition in the Omaheke Region.
