    Between 2015 and 2016 South Africa faced some of the worst droughts to have hit the country in decades These droughts were induced by El Niño, a climate pattern that results in the warming of surface waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean, in turn causing a decrease in water availability in the form of rain and discharge into rivers An estimated 6 291 900 people across South Africa are estimated to have been affected by this drought More specifically, smallholder farmers, who are dependent upon agriculture for their livelihoods, and individuals with lower socio economic status were most vulnerable to the adverse effects of the droughts Furthermore, the production of maize and livestock was significantly impacted, with the decrease in production resulting in rising food costs.

    Emergency Food Security and Livelihoods Assistance to Conflict Affected Households in Ukraine - TCP/UKR/3901 2024

    The crisis in Ukraine reached alarming proportions. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) estimated a staggering 4.5 million people requiring urgent agricultural livelihoods support and food assistance, which represents a 2 000 percent increase since the onset of the crisis in February 2022. As the conflict continued to escalate, a humanitarian crisis especially in East Ukraine became dire. To address this, a project was designed to target the most vulnerable populations affected by the conflict, particularly those residing in rural areas of Donetsk and Luhansk oblast. These regions saw a significant deterioration in living conditions due to the ongoing conflict, resulting in higher unemployment rates and limited access to livelihood opportunities. Many households within 0 to 10 kilometers of the contact line were left grappling with food insecurity, resorting to backyard agriculture and livestock production to meet their basic nutritional needs.

    Support Vulnerable Households in Tigray in Response to the Ongoing Humanitarian Crisis - TCP/ETH/3804 2023
    Also available in:
    No results found.
    The protracted conflict in Tigray region that began in November 2020 has disrupted agricultural livelihood activities and caused massive displacement, high levels of food insecurity, limited access to services and the destruction of the local economy. According to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification report, released in June 2021, about 5.5 million people were in a situation of high acute food insecurity. Widespread emergency and crisis outcomes were likely across Tigray region, with the worst-affected populations in the eastern, central and north-western areas. Internally displaced people (IDPs), returnees and host community households were increasingly vulnerable because of their lack of access to agricultural inputs and a chronic shortage of basic services. High prices of agricultural inputs and products reduced purchasing power at a household level, which in turn exacerbated acute and chronic vulnerabilities among significant segments of the population.
