| dc.description | In recent years, Eswatini has suffered from El Niño, adevastating AIDS pandemic, economic slowdown and soaring prices of food and agricultural inputs. Despitebeing ranked as a lower middle-income country, it has experienced a stalling of economic growth, leading togreater food insecurity and poverty. Women and youth sare generally the most vulnerable population group, and there are a growing number of households headed solely by women and children, with more men seeking employment away from home and as a direct result of HIV/AIDS. The agricultural sector has been affected by erratic rainfall and climate change. Changes in weatherpatterns have had an adverse effect on food production, resulting in insufficient production for domestic consumption. Additionally, reduced access to food markets and a lack of value addition to agricultural processes has compounded concerns relating to food and income security. | |
