Employment at World Vision Swaziland

  5:42 AM    Unknown

World Vision started operating in Swaziland in 1992 focusing mainly on emergency relief after the devastating drought that hit Swaziland. In 1996 the focus shifted from relief to disaster mitigation, rehabilitation, and transformational development. Initially, WVS used the community development project (CDP) approach and later changed to the Area Development Programme (ADP) approach to ensure greater impact and sustainability of community based development interventions. Through the ADPs in recent years, WVS interventions have addressed problems on food insecurity (mainly through agriculture), Water shortages, education, HIV and AIDS, health, infrastructure development, and economic development, in the process changing lives for the poor. WVS’ work has been concentrated in the regions chronically affected by drought and poverty, the Lubombo and Shiselweni regions respectively.
