Synopsis (short abstract) The El Niño phenomenon is a natural climatic event characterized by the anomalous warming of waters of the intertropical Pacific Ocean, causing changes in climate patterns around the world. Ecuador, located in the South Pacific coastal zone, has historically been affected by the impacts associated with this event, causing severe floods, landslides and river overflows. The Government of Germany contributed USD 542 088 to FAO's project "Anticipatory actions to protect agricultural livelihoods against the impact of the El Niño phenomenon in Ecuador". The project was implemented from 6 November 2023 to 30 March 2024. It enabled 2 288 households to improve their diets, food availability and crop diversification thanks to family vegetable gardens and backyard poultry production, as well as access to quality water, thanks to inputs distributed. Overall, the project contributed to the reduction of households’ negative coping mechanisms in response to the impact of threats associated with the El Niño phenomenon, thus safeguarding their livelihoods and food security.
