In response to the Government of the Republic of Namibia (GRN) drought appeal in November 2003, WFP approved a 6-months emergency operations targeting 111,000 orphans and vulnerable children (96,940 OVC and 14,060 malnourished children through health clinics) in six of the most affected northern regions of the country. Originally, the WFP support was scheduled to start in March 04 and end by August 04, but due to delays in implementation, the operations started in July and will be terminated by December 2004, although and extension till March 2005 seems likely. Of the 6 regions originally selected, Caprivi, Kavango, Oshikoto and Ohangwena regions are served to date.
