Project brief: Greening the humanitarian response in displacement settings
Ecosystem restoration and sustainable forest management for enhanced energy access and livelihood resilience
2023

Also available in:

No results found.

The scale and protracted nature of displacement today highlights more than ever the need to integrate environmental preparedness and response in humanitarian interventions. Addressing the environmental impacts of forced displacement and related risks is essential with environmental protection being a necessary pre-condition of human protection. Over past years, FAO has worked with partners to alleviate environmental pressures and facilitate energy access for both host and displaced communities. Funded by DG ECHO, this initiative adopts a multidisciplinary approach that combines emergency assistance with longterm resilience and development efforts towards the sustainable management of forests and ecosystem restoration, enhancing livelihood resilience, energy access, nutrition and food security in displacement settings. Conceived as a pilot with global level action and country activities in Djibouti, Somalia, Uganda and the United Republic of Tanzania, greening the humanitarian response in displacement settings represents a further opportunity for bridging and maximizing positive effects along the humanitarian–development–peace nexus.

Final Evaluation of the Joint Resilience Project in Kassala - Annexes
Project evaluation - Annexes
2018

Also available in:

No results found.

Weather-related shocks in Kassala, Sudan, regularly affect the resilience of communities and their food security conditions. The Joint Resilience Project (JPR), designed to prevent malnutrition in order to build resilience to droughts and floods, opted to measure stunting to determine whether improved maternal and child health and nutrition, as well as enhanced adaptive capacity were achieved. The initial focus on reducing malnutrition rather than building resilience reduced overall effectiveness, although the evaluation noted this shortcoming was corrected at mid-term. The evaluation recommends providing feedback on results to the 75 beneficiary communities, the four targeted localities and the Kassala Government, consolidating project results by continuing collaboration among FAO, WFP and UNICEF in the field, by strengthening the capacities of national stakeholders specifically through enhanced soft skills, and by capitalizing on lessons learned from the JRP for similar projects in the future.

Assistance to Improve Local Agricultural Emergency Preparedness in Caribbean Countries Highly Prone to Hydro- meteorological Disasters - Jamaica
Project: Assistance to improve local agricultural emergency preparedness in Caribbean countries highly prone to hydro-meteorological hazards/disasters.
2007

Also available in:

No results found.

The vulnerability of the Caribbean region to hydro- meteorological hazards such as hurricanes, floods, drought, high magnitude rainfall and related hazards such landslides is underscored. The recurrent impacts of these events have wreaked havoc on environment, economy and society throughout the region. Although the contribution of agriculture to Caribbean regional GDP has steadily declined over the last two decades, this sector has remained a major employer of labour and as such a main player in the livelihood profile of the region. The extreme vulnerability of the agricultural sector to a variety of hazards/disaster has been a perpetual focus of hazard/disaster management and interventions in the Caribbean. Over the past decade, FAO has regular responded to the relief/rehabilitation/reconstruction needs of the sector in the aftermath of hurricane-related disasters. While such response and rehabilitation interventions are important, the extent of devastation caused to the agricultural sector by the 2004-2005 hurricane season stresses the need to move from a reactive to a proactive mode in order to facilitate more long term and sustainable benefits form interventions.
