Synopsis (short abstract) In November 2017, the sociopolitical crisis in Cameroon’s North-West and South-West regions escalated into armed conflict between government forces and separatist groups. This led to widespread insecurity, displacement, and economic disruption. Many people fled to Nigeria or sought refuge in forests and nearby towns. Schools and clinics were shut down, and agricultural activities were severely affected, with farmers unable to cultivate land and crops destroyed. Although the situation has stabilized somewhat after six years, the crisis continues to have a significant impact on the region’s economy, education, and healthcare systems.

    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.

Climate shocks, conflict and insecurity, economic downturn and the spillover effects of the conflict in the Sudan are the key drivers of this crisis.Emergency agricultural assistance is vital to enable people to immediately access nutritious food while strengthening their livelihoods in the medium to long term. With a livelihood kit, a farming household can produce enough food to last nearly half a year, over and above their other sources of food.
