The ESWADE was realised by Government in 1999, as the Swaziland Komati Project Enterprise (SKPE), an institution that was established to lead and coordinate a water based project in the Downstream Komati Basin. This project was intended to transform the Komati Basin and the livelihoods of the people there through intense agricultural activity. Successful coordination of this project saw birth of the now Eswatini Water and Agricultural Development Enterprise (ESWADE), following an expanded mandate.

The focus is on mobilising people for development on Eswatini Nation Land and constructive use of water resources to stimulate food security, poverty alleviation and social invigoration in disadvantaged parts of the country
