Synopsis (short abstract) The war in Ukraine continues to compound the vulnerabilities of rural communities, especially those living near the frontline. Rural households have lost their productive capacities due to displacement, damaged land, infrastructure and equipment, and lack of access to key production inputs. Consequently, rural communities are increasingly becoming food aid beneficiaries and nearly one‑third of planned food aid beneficiaries under the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan are rural people who traditionally produce their own food. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed the 2024 Emergency Response Plan (ERP). Through the 2024 ERP, FAO aims to mobilize USD 150 million to provide emergency livelihoods assistance to 315 800 households (821 080 people). The ERP focuses on the delivery of time-critical support to rural communities in war-affected areas to enable them to restore their production, improve their food security and avoid reliance on food aid. This document provides an overview of the context, planned response, expected outcomes, and implementation arrangements of the 2024 ERP.

    The war in Ukraine continues to escalate with major impacts on Ukraine’s agriculture sector, which used to feed 400 million people annually across the globe. Frontline territories are rural and agricultural. Rural communities are increasingly impacted by contaminated lands, damaged infrastructure and limited access to basic agricultural supplies, while anticipating the harshest winter since 2022. They urgently need support to maintain local food production and supply. This document provides a summary of the planned response and funding requirements of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations within the framework of the 2024 Emergency Response Plan for Ukraine.

    Ukraine: Response programme, January–December 2023
    Restoring food systems and protecting food security in Ukraine

    The war in Ukraine is significantly impacting food security at the national and global levels. Without urgent support to the Ukrainian agrifood sector, humanitarian needs will continue to rise and the stability of global food value chains will remain under threat. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is uniquely positioned in Ukraine to implement a multidimensional and innovative response programme to sustain and restore agrifood systems at scale. Capitalizing on its technical expertise and in-country experience, in 2023, the response programme of the Organization will focus on restoring food security and self-sufficiency in front-line communities (Pillar 1); restoring critical agricultural production and value chains (Pillar 2); and enhancing coordination and technical support to the functioning of critical food system services (Pillar 3).

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aims to provide lifesaving assistance to war-affected rural communities in Ukraine to enable them to secure spring and winter harvests and meet their basic needs. In support of FAO’s emergency response, the Government of Belgium, through the FAO Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities, contributed USD 900 000 to support over 700 rural famillies in Chernihivska, Dnipropetrovska, Kharkivska and Sumska oblasts. FAO provided beneficiary households with soybean seeds to contribute to protecting their livelihoods and enable them to maintain food production. This document provides a brief description of the context of the intervention and highlights the importance of the contribution in enhancing the resilience of the affected communities.
