The African Development Fund has approved a $9.3 million grant for projects serving vulnerable communities in Ethiopia and South Sudan, according to an Ethiopian News Agency report distributed by AllAfrica on July 24, 2026.
The funding is intended to strengthen climate resilience, improve water security and support food production. The source record did not provide a project timetable or a breakdown of how the grant will be divided between the two countries.
The approval links three closely connected development priorities in drought- and climate-exposed communities: dependable water access, agricultural production and resilience to environmental shocks. Further implementation details are expected from the fund and participating authorities.
