ProjectBuilding Resilience and Strengthening Food and Nutrition Security for Smallholder Farmers in the Syrian Arab Republic - GCP/SYR/023/EC 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The impact of the crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic has placed even greater pressure on the country’s already fragile agriculture sector. The combination of droughts, a hasty reform and liberalization process, as well as global food price hikes, have resulted in an increase in the number of inhabitants living in a state of food insecurity, in particular in the northeastern part of the country, and led to an exodus of impoverished and resource-poor farmers and pastoralists to cities and urban areas, a factor now understood to have contributed to the ongoing crisis. The increased demand resulting from the ongoing crisis has negatively affected the country’s overall agricultural production and productivity, food security and socio-economic stability. There is therefore an urgent need to strengthen sustainable management of natural resources (water, land and soil) to ensure sustainable food production for the wellbeing of the Syrian people. In this context, the objective of the FAO Smallholder Support Programme(SSP) was for local-level intervention to empower, strengthen the capacities and build the resilience of smallholder farmers, helping them to become self-reliant within the country’s agriculture sector. -

BookletEvaluation of the project “Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme: Building food system resilience in protracted crises”
Project code: GCP/GLO/997/NET
2024Also available in:
No results found.The FAO's "Food and Nutrition Security Resilience Programme (FNS-REPRO)" aimed to build food system resilience in crisis-affected areas of Sudan (Darfur), Somaliland, and South Sudan from 2019 to 2024, with a budget of USD 28 million. This evaluation assessed the program's relevance, approach, and impact on rural food security, nutrition, and resilience. Using mixed methods, including over 100 interviews, 20 focus group discussions, and field visits, the evaluation revealed FNS-REPRO's innovative approach to addressing conflict and food insecurity by upgrading food systems along value chains. Despite its novel design, the program lacked coherence between components, such as integrating nutrition capacity-building with agricultural value chains. Significant improvements were noted in agricultural income, natural resource management, conflict management, and women's engagement. However, the absence of local private sector partnerships posed a sustainability risk. The evaluation provided eight recommendations to enhance future programs, emphasizing comprehensive value chain support, local partnerships, peacebuilding funding, and community-based monitoring.
