    Syrian Arab Republic: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024

    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.

    With the conflict now in its thirteenth year, the Syrian Arab Republic continues to face insecurity, economic crisis, drought-like conditions and severe agroclimatic fluctuations. An estimated 12.1 million people are food insecure, of which 49 percent live in rural areas. Without urgent support, an additional 2.9 million people are at risk of becoming food insecure. Humanitarian response to support farming and livestock‑keeping families with restoring their production is critical. Every USD 1 invested to help a farmer grow wheat yields more than 4.5 times its value in staple food produced, for that family, their local community and markets.

    Building local resilience in the Syrian Arab Republic

    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.
