Synopsis (short abstract) In Colombia, six out of ten conflict-affected households are food insecure and 26 percent of the population do not manage to eat three meals a day. Extreme weather events, armed violence, and the significant influx of refugees and migrants from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela continue to exacerbate vulnerabilities. Most communities identify food as their main need, particularly in rural areas where agricultural assistance is needed urgently.

    Vulnerable households in Colombia remain affected by extreme weather events, armed violence, and the significant influx of refugees and migrants from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. 85 percent of them identify food as their main need and the percentage is even higher among those residing in rural areas. Providing both migrant and host communities with agricultural assistance will help them increase availability of and access to nutritious food. For every USD 1 invested in agricultural livelihoods in La Guajira, vulnerable households can produce USD 2.60 worth of food.

    The situation in Colombia continues to be characterized by armed group activity as well as natural disasters, leading to increased humanitarian needs. In addition, Colombia still hosts the largest number of Venezuelan refugees and migrants, whose already dire living conditions have further been aggravated by the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and related urgent and essential restrictive measures. Providing both vulnerable host communities, and refugee and migrant populations, especially in rural areas, with agricultural support is crucial to allow them to quickly cover their food needs and increase their self-reliance.

    The most vulnerable and food-insecure populations in Colombia mainly live in rural areas, including women, indigenous peoples, afro-descendant communities, youth and refugees/migrants from Venezuela (Bolivarian Republic of), due to the challenges they face linked to prolonged armed conflict and environmental degradation. As the COVID-19 pandemic is rapidly spreading across Colombia strict but essential health-related containment measures have been implemented since the end of March. A spike in confirmed cases, particularly in some of the main urban areas, at the end of April forced the Government to reinstate restrictions in the most affected cities. The effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and related containment measures have generally impacted the food supply chain. While crop production has not been significantly affected by the containment measures, the livestock sector has been more affected. Overall, the challenges linked to marketing coupled with the slowdown of economic activities have reduced food access in the country. In the framework of the Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households.
