Synopsis (short abstract) Ethiopia faces major humanitarian challenges, mainly driven by climate and economic shocks, armed conflict and food chain threats. These challenges are underlined by economic and physical constraints that hinder access to key food commodities, even when adequate production has been achieved at the national level. As a result, 13 million people are in dire need of agricultural assistance. Restoring livelihoods is fundamental to the humanitarian response, as over 80 percent of Ethiopians live in rural areas and rely on agriculture to feed and provide for themselves.Every USD 1 spent on safeguarding lives and livelihoods saves USD 7 in food assistance. This document provides an overview of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) component of the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan for Ethiopia. FAO requires USD 175 million to assist 5.46 million people.

    After nearly two years of unrelenting conflict, the Sudan remains the world’s largest internal displacement crisis. Humanitarian needs continue to escalate at a staggering rate, with one in two people acutely food insecure. Famine has been declared in North Darfur and the Western Nuba mountains, as conflict, economic collapse and climate shocks push entire communities to the brink of catastrophe. Emergency agricultural assistance to boost local food production and availability is an urgent humanitarian priority, critical to preventing further hunger and suffering.

    Chad: Humanitarian Response Plan 2024 2024
    Also available in:
    Chad now has the seventh highest number of refugees in the world. This is putting pressure on the limited natural resources of host communities, already struggling to cope with years of armed conflict, socioeconomic challenges and recurrent natural hazards. The number of acutely food insecure people has increased by 60 percent since 2020. Currently, one in two people are unable to cover their food needs, predominantly in rural areas. Supporting rural families with the means to produce their own food is fundamental to help reverse the trend.

    Over 80 percent of people in Mozambique depend on agriculture for survival. In Cabo Delgado, relentless conflict and climate shocks have shattered lives and livelihoods. With food insecurity and malnutrition surging, farmers and fishers are struggling to recover as resources dwindle and coping mechanisms are eroded. Urgent action is critical to help these communities restore their ability to produce food and break free from prolonged reliance on aid.

    The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025
    Addressing high food price inflation for food security and nutrition
    2025
    Also available in:
    While some progress and recovery have been made in recent years, the world is still above pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels and far from eradicating hunger and food insecurity by 2030 (SDG Target 2.1). Similarly, despite some progress in the global nutrition targets, the world is not on track to achieve SDG Target 2.2. Among other factors, persistent food price inflation has slowed this momentum.The State of Food Security and Nutrition in the World 2025 highlights how elevated inflation in many countries has undermined purchasing power and, especially among low-income populations, access to healthy diets. The report documents how high food price inflation is associated with increases in food insecurity and child malnutrition. Vulnerable groups, including low-income households, women, and rural communities, can be particularly affected by food price inflation, risking setbacks in the fight against hunger and malnutrition.In response to these challenges and to prevent future price shocks, the report examines policy measures adopted by countries, and outlines what is necessary going forwards. It stresses the importance of coherent implementation of fiscal and monetary policies to stabilize markets, promote open and resilient trade, and protect vulnerable populations. Additionally, it calls for better data systems and sustained investment in resilient agrifood systems to build long-term food security and nutrition. These coordinated actions are vital to reignite progress towards ending hunger and malnutrition by 2030.
