Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEthiopia: Belgium's contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The lives and livelihoods of an estimated one million people in Ethiopia’s Tigray region have been severely disrupted by the recent drought in the north. According to the recent seasonal assessment, 4.5 million people are acutely food insecure, including one million drought-affected people, one million internally displaced people, and 2.5 million host community members/returnees still grappling with the lingering impacts of the conflict. To mitigate the humanitarian and economic impacts of the drought, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 500 000, through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities, to support the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) emergency response in Tigray. In collaboration with the Tigray Bureau of Agriculture and Natural Resources, FAO will provide agricultural inputs (staple crop seeds) to 4 660 households, with each receiving enough seeds to plant 0.5 hectares during the upcoming main rainy season in late May/June 2024. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEthiopia: Humanitarian Response Plan 2023 2023
Also available in:
No results found.Ethiopia continues to face several overlapping crises, in particular conflict and record drought, which have resulted in poor crop production, limited access to markets to buy and sell produce, loss of income and high levels of malnutrition and food insecurity. With 80 percent of the population dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, supporting affected farmers with essential agricultural inputs is a cost‑effective way to restore production and boost household income. For example, each USD 1 invested in providing fertilizer to farmers enables them to benefit from an additional USD 4 worth of food that can be consumed or sold in local markets. With sustained agricultural assistance, people will have the resources they need to meet their basic needs, plant and nourish their crops and cope with pasture depletion caused by drought, ensuring they can resume their livelihood activities and rebuild their lives. This document provides an overview of FAO's component of the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan for Ethiopia. FAO requires USD 163.2 million to assist 5.35 million people in Ethiopia in 2023. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Sudan: Revised Humanitarian Response Plan 2023 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The ongoing conflict in the Sudan, which erupted on 15 April, has worsened an already fragile food security situation. Prior to the crisis, one in four people faced acute food insecurity due partly to instability, economic decline and high food prices. An estimated 2.1 million people have since been displaced leaving their homes in search of safety, including 467 000 people who have fled to neighbouring countries for refuge. As the lean season approaches and challenges arise in transporting humanitarian goods across borders, it is crucial to urgently provide agricultural humanitarian assistance to mitigate the impact of displacement, trade disruptions and surges in food and fuel prices on vulnerable populations. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks to work with local actors and partners to save lives, ensure access to food and improve livelihoods in the Sudan. This document provides an overview of FAO's component of the 2023 Revised Humanitarian Response Plan for the Sudan. FAO requires USD 95.4 million to assist 15 million people.
