Book (stand-alone)Assessment of impacts and recovery needs of communities affected by the El Niño-induced drought in Kunene, Erongo and Omusati regions of Namibia 2016
Also available in:
No results found.The assessment revealed that in Omusati at least 97 percent of the communities were reliant on crop production followed by Kunene which reported only 20 percent. Erongo region had 96 percent households reporting that they were reliant on livestock farming followed by Kunene at 72 percent. Pearl millet (mahangu) and maize were the main crops cultivated in terms of area allocated in Kunene and Omusati regions respectively during the 2015/16 season. The average crop losses for maize were 94.7 perce nt and 72.6 percent in Omusati and Kunene regions respectively. In addition to the sharp decline in production, the reduction in hectares under cultivation and limited rainfall have capped the demand for casual labor for planting and weeding – a key source of income during the agricultural season. The number of households deriving income and grain from casual labor significantly decreased during the 2015/16 agricultural season. -

No results found.The project aimed to increase food availability for vulnerable households through improved smallholder production, build sustainable access to productive assets, income and food supply, and foster an enabling environment for resilience building and agriculture sector recovery. This is the first project of its kind for FAO Syrian Arab Republic, moving away from delivery of purely humanitarian support to implementation of more longer-term resilience building activities. It was an ambitious project combining humanitarian and resilience building activities. The operational context in which it was implemented was extremely challenging. FAO needs to consolidate its support to communities by selecting specific value chains and adopting an area-based approach in which multiple activities can be layered upon each other leading to more sustainable outcomes. In order to maintain its rightful leadership role of the Food Security Cluster, further investment is needed in coordination at the whole of the Syrian Arab Republic and hub levels. -
