Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetMozambique: El Niño impact assessment highlights
September 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.This document presents the highlights of an impact assessment conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, and the Mozambique Vulnerability Assessment Committee to understand the impact of El Niño on agricultural production and livelihoods in fourteen districts across Mozambique. The comprehensive assessment approach included an innovative combination of four components: maize yield forecasts using a NASA Harvest model; a household survey with 1 991 households interviewed across the seven provinces in April 2024; an agriculture sector damage and loss assessment using FAO Corporate Methodology; and a commercial sector seed assessment conducted through interviews with key informants in the seed sector. -
Book (stand-alone)Climate change, rural livelihoods and migration nexus in Zimbabwe
Impacts on rural livelihoods and adaptation
2024Also available in:
No results found.By the late 21st century, Africa is likely to experience warming and increased climate variability, which have been linked to adverse economic outcomes. Human-induced climate change, including more frequent and intense extreme events, has caused widespread adverse impacts and related losses and damages to nature and people beyond natural climate variability. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th Assessment Report’s (2021) continental projections for Africa indicate a projected increase in temperature and weather extremes. In the Zimbabwean context, there are already indications that rising temperatures and increasing rainfall variability are affecting agricultural outputs and, with that, food and nutrition security. Migration is one possible adaptation strategy in the context of climate change, alongside other possible responses. The Labour Force and Child Labour Survey indicates that approximately 124 000 people left their homes in search of better agricultural land, with another 4 000 people reported being displaced by extreme events between 2011 and 2019 in Zimbabwe. Earlier research indicates that 44 percent of the total 1.6 million Zimbabweans in South Africa are believed to have migrated because of drought-related food insecurity. This study aimed to investigate the climate change–migration nexus in selected provinces in Zimbabwe, including the influence of climate and environmental factors on rural migration patterns and the relationship between migration and climate change adaptation. -
BookletLebanon: Impact assessment of the escalating hostilities in southern Lebanon on agriculture, food security and livelihoods
DIEM-Impact report, February 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), in partnership with the Ministry of Agriculture in Lebanon, conducted a household survey between 31 October and 30 November 2023 using computer-assisted telephone interviews. These interviews were part of the FAO Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) System which monitors the impact of shocks on agricultural livelihoods and food security. The survey targeted the agricultural population using the sampling frame of agricultural holdings from the 2010 Lebanon Agricultural Census. Additional survey questions were added to assess the impact of the escalating hostilities in southern Lebanon on farmers’ agricultural livelihoods and food security.FAO established Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.
