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. -

Deaths due to hunger, malnutrition and related diseases are on the rise. If emergency cash and livelihood assistance are not provided in a timely manner, many more Somalis in rural areas will face destitution, displacement and famine in the coming months. Immediate and sustained intervention at scale is required to save lives and livelihoods.
