According to the latest Cadre Harmonisé (CH) analyses, the number of acutely food-insecure people (CH Phase 3 or above) has risen from 10.7 million in 2020 to 38.1 million in March 2024. If no assistance is provided, this number is likely to rise to 51.9 million by August 2024. The FAO Resilience Programme for West Africa and the Sahel covers 18 countries and outlines a framework of interventions tailored to the specificities of to the region and its challenges, in order to provide coordinated assistance focused on the needs of populations and countries. Its main objective is to address food insecurity in a sustainable way, based on the humanitarian–development–peace nexus approach.

    In November 2017, the sociopolitical crisis in Cameroon’s North-West and South-West regions escalated into armed conflict between government forces and separatist groups. This led to widespread insecurity, displacement, and economic disruption. Many people fled to Nigeria or sought refuge in forests and nearby towns. Schools and clinics were shut down, and agricultural activities were severely affected, with farmers unable to cultivate land and crops destroyed. Although the situation has stabilized somewhat after six years, the crisis continues to have a significant impact on the region’s economy, education, and healthcare systems.

    Lessons learned and best practices from FAO Peacebuilding Fund projects

    Since 2018, the portfolio of PBF projects implemented by FAO in the region has consolidated considerably, with a tripling of funding mobilized. It is with a view to reinforcing this momentum of increasing PBF projects that the FAO Subregional Resilience Team for West Africa and the Sahel (REOWA) has initiated a process of exchange between country offices, with a view to generating knowledge aimed at developing best practices in peacebuilding. This summary report makes available the results of the self-assessment of the PBF projects and the highlights of the virtual workshop held on 31 May 2022, focusing on: (i) the effects induced by the interventions carried out by FAO on the peacebuilding dynamic; (ii) the good or promising practices promoted in terms of building sustainable peace; and (iii) the main lessons concerning the approach to formulating PBF projects, as well as the strategies for operational implementation and monitoring-evaluation of the interventions. This feedback will help to improve programming practices in the region's country offices, as well as fostering exchanges with colleagues from country offices in other regions of Africa and United Nations agencies that collaborate with FAO in implementing PBF projects.
