Synopsis (short abstract) The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is implementing a multiyear resilience project in six governorates in the Syrian Arab Republic with high levels of food insecurity. The project integrates climate‑smart, agriculture‑oriented actions with gender‑responsive interventions to help vulnerable farming households boost their production, become more resilient to shocks, and improve their food security, nutrition and self-reliance. This set of actions is integrated with social empowerment interventions that seek to promote gender equality and reduce gender based violence.

Syrian Arab Republic: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024

Also available in:

No results found.

Thirteen years of conflict and an enduring economic crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to drive humanitarian needs, disrupt agriculture and weaken the country’s food production capacity. The situation worsened significantly after the earthquakes of February 2023. Inflation, high food prices and a declining economy have pushed more than half of the population into acute food insecurity, with millions more at risk. The resulting increased cost of humanitarian response emphasizes the need for cost-effective solutions. Investing in emergency agricultural assistance is crucial. For example, every USD 1 invested in local wheat production yields around four times its value in food produced.

Syrian Arab Republic: Emergency and Recovery Plan of Action 2025–2027

After nearly 14 years of conflict, the Syrian Arab Republic faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with an estimated 16.7 million people in need of assistance and 14.5 million food insecure. Agriculture – the primary income source for a significant portion of the population – has been severely impacted by displacement, infrastructure damage, climate shocks and market disruptions. In the north of the country, these challenges were further exacerbated by the February 2023 earthquake.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is scaling up its capacities to contribute to the country's recovery in one of its most essential economic sectors: agriculture. This document presents FAO’s Emergency and Recovery Plan of Action (ERPA) 2025–2027, as of 1 March 2025. The ERPA outlines FAO’s strategic approach to supporting the most vulnerable rural households in the Syrian Arab Republic with short- and medium-term assistance, addressing immediate food security and nutrition needs, while restoring self-reliance and income generation to help communities move beyond aid dependence and contribute to national recovery and stability. The ERPA also contributes to shaping a renewed enabling environment for a modernized sector governance, ultimately fostering a more efficient, inclusive and resilient agrifood system.With a funding requirement of USD 286.7 million, the ERPA aims to reach 9.8 million people, while working closely with local and international partners to implement evidence-based interventions that bridge emergency response with recovery activities. It is a “living” document, open to consultation with partners, and will be updated as the situationevolves and further evidence becomes available.
