Synopsis (short abstract) Every year, huge efforts are made to tackle food insecurity in countries facing economic, social, political and natural crises. However, the interventions designed to improve the food security of the most marginalised and vulnerable people in these countries may not be effective or appropriate and, in some cases, may even cause harm. In an effort to improve programme quality and effectiveness of food security programming in crisis, FAO is implementing an ECHO funded to respond to those challenges.

Improving Food Security, Nutrition and Livelihoods through Emergency Seed Provision in Ethiopia - TCP ETH 3601 2018

Ethiopia is vulnerable to many natural hazards, and years of below-average rainfall, coupled with the 2015 El Niño-induced drought, resulted in deteriorating food security in 2016. In some regions crop losses, mainly cereals, were between 30 and 95 percent. Many households had to eat their seed reserves, leaving them without means of production in future seasons. This project –part of the largest emergency seed response in Ethiopia’s history –focused on providing seed aid to vulnerable smallholders: 13 875 households were helped, over a third more than the 10 223 initially targeted, to resume their agricultural livelihoods.
