Project LISTEN, CRS Malawi
Catholic Relief Services’ Project LISTEN, a one-year effort initiated in 2004, was designed as an exit strategy program to reduce risks to food security shocks as emergency food distributions were concluded in Malawi and Zambia. The project was carried out simultaneously in communities that had been receiving food aid through the Consortium for Southern Africa Food Security Emergency (C-SAFE) and the Joint Emergency Food Assistance Program (JEFAP). Project LISTEN was one of the first CRS programs to directly apply the IHD framework.
