Synopsis (short abstract) Through its Emergency Response Plan (ERP) for 2024, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) requires a total of USD 150 million to assist 821 050 people in rural areas and small farmers by distributing agricultural production inputs to ensure they can rely on their own production. To date, FAO has raised USD 28.9 million against the total of USD 150 million under the ERP 2024, leaving a gap of USD 121.1 million. In 2024, FAO has supported 45 724 rural families with cash and voucher assistance and drip irrigation kits to enable them to cover their immediate needs and restore and keep production. Moreover, 4 741 farmers benefited from the distribution of spring crops seeds, generators, temporary storage solutions, animal feed, cash and vouchers.FAO is finalizing its Emergency and Early Recovery Response Plan for 2025–2026, targeting 550 000 rural people and small farmers affected by the ongoing war. This comprehensive plan outlines a phased approach to provide both immediate relief and long-term recovery support to the agriculture sector.
