FAO’s Updated Plan at a Glance: June to December 2017
2017Also available in:
No results found.FAO’s updated Famine Prevention and Drought Response Plan requires an extra USD 115 million between June and December 2017. The Plan builds on priorities and activities set in the first half of the year to prevent famine, against an increased number of rural people and locations at risk. To begin laying the foundation for a quick recovery, the updated Plan also aims to support the early return of drought displaced families and to protect livelihoods against new or aggravating shocks. The revised total budget of this Plan amounts to USD 185 million, taking into account USD 70 million mobilized by May 2017 and additional funding of USD 115 million required for June to December 2017. The Plan has three overarching goals: (i) Keep Somalia famine-free, (ii) Support early IDP returns and their communities, and (iii) Resist new shocks. -

Part of FAO’s Regional Plan for mitigating a major humanitarian catastrophe in the Horn of Africa
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) urgently requires funding to increase immediate access to food and basic needs in rural areas, safeguard livelihoods and support food production where it is still possible, as well as to provide supporting evidence and coordination to ensure relevant and prioritized response actions. FAO’s Famine Prevention Plan seeks to reach extremely vulnerable rural communities in areas at risk of famine to avert further catastrophe. If emergency cash and livelihood assistance is not provided in a timely manner, many more Somalis will face worse outcomes; 213 000 people are already facing famine conditions across the country. This number is likely to rise exponentially in coming months if humanitarian assistance is not scaled up and sustained.
