Synopsis (short abstract) FAO made great strides in ensuring agro/pastoralists in Ethiopia were well prepared to combat the double threat of conflict and drought in 2022. Agricultural inputs, like seeds and fertilizer, animal health services and forage provision, helped people increase their farm production, protect their livestock assets and improve milk productivity. Cash assistance likewise ensured people were able to meet their immediate food and other basic needs, like sending their children to school. However, humanitarian support must be urgently scaled up to ensure more people will be able to improve their food security and income in 2023.

    Ethiopia: Belgium's contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) 2024

    The lives and livelihoods of an estimated one million people in Ethiopia’s Tigray region have been severely disrupted by the recent drought in the north. According to the recent seasonal assessment, 4.5 million people are acutely food insecure, including one million drought-affected people, one million internally displaced people, and 2.5 million host community members/returnees still grappling with the lingering impacts of the conflict. To mitigate the humanitarian and economic impacts of the drought, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 500 000, through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities, to support the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) emergency response in Tigray. In collaboration with the Tigray Bureau of Agriculture and Natural Resources, FAO will provide agricultural inputs (staple crop seeds) to 4 660 households, with each receiving enough seeds to plant 0.5 hectares during the upcoming main rainy season in late May/June 2024.
