肯尼亚计划利用世界银行的紧急融资，向农民提供补贴化肥和种子，供应清洁用水，并增加东非这个国家必需药品的供应。
Kenya plans to use emergency financing from the World Bank to provide subsidized fertilizer and seeds to farmers, supply clean water and boost supplies of essential medicines in the East African nation.
根据世界银行网站上发布的文件，当局还将这笔资金专门用于向受危机影响的贫困和脆弱家庭发放现金援助。该提案预计将于周四获得批准。
The authorities also earmarked the funds for cash transfers to crisis-affected poor and vulnerable households, according to documents published on the World Bank’s website. The proposal is scheduled to be approved on Thursday.
肯尼亚已设立一个所谓的“应急备用响应项目”，作为这家总部位于华盛顿的贷款机构拨付资金的渠道。据财政部称，肯尼亚政府预计将从世界银行的紧急融资中获得4亿美元。
Kenya has established a so-called Contingent Emergency Response Project, a vehicle through which the Washington-based lender will channel the funds. The government expects to receive $400 million from World Bank emergency funding, according to the Treasury.
该项目是肯尼亚首个采用“快速响应选项”的项目。该选项允许各国政府将最高达10%的未发放资金重新调配，以应对危机，包括中东持续冲突带来的影响、超强厄尔尼诺天气现象以及最近发现的埃博拉病例。
The project is Kenya’s first under the Rapid Response Option that allows governments to redirect as much as 10% of undisbursed funds to respond to crises, including fallout from the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, the super El Niño weather phenomenon and the recently detected Ebola case.
文件指出：“肯尼亚持续面临反复的冲击，包括干旱、洪水、疾病暴发、商品价格上涨以及全球供应链中断。”
“Kenya continues to experience recurrent shocks, including droughts, floods, disease outbreaks, rising commodity prices, and disruptions in global supply chains,” according to the documents.
世界银行表示，这项紧急融资“旨在通过加强应急准备、改善基本服务获取渠道以及支持可持续复苏，来保护生命和生计。”
The emergency funding “seeks to protect lives and livelihoods by strengthening emergency preparedness, improving access to essential services, and supporting sustainable recovery,” the bank said.
美国与以色列对伊朗的战争已导致化肥价格上涨、化肥供应减少，威胁到肯尼亚的农业生产和家庭粮食安全。而肯尼亚目前正面临玉米作物歉收以及小麦和牛奶供应紧张的问题。
The US-Israeli war on Iran has resulted in higher fertilizer prices and reduced availability of the inputs, threatening agricultural production and household food security in Kenya which is already grappling with a failed corn crop and tight supplies of wheat and milk.
文件指出，肯尼亚的医疗系统“仍然面临必需药品短缺的脆弱性”，而在疾病暴发和洪水等紧急情况下，这一问题可能会进一步加剧。
Kenya’s health system “remains vulnerable to shortages of essential medicines” and this may be exacerbated during emergency situations including disease outbreaks and flooding, according to the documents.
根据披露的信息，健康干预措施包括药品、用于检测霍乱、疟疾、裂谷热和埃博拉病毒的实验室及诊断用品。
