Synopsis (short abstract) In a context of economic fragility and socio-political tensions, the successive shocks that have recently affected Haiti – natural disasters, epidemics and population displacements – combined with structural weaknesses limiting access to basic services, have significantly aggravated the population’s chronic vulnerability, reducing their resilience while increasing the level of poverty. For 2019, FAO is appealing for USD 24 million to assist 384 500 people through livelihood support.

    Throughout 2019, Haiti was marked by major natural disasters that add to the effects of those experienced during the past ten years, the cholera epidemic, and the deteriorating socio-political and economic situation. Compounded by the country’s structural weaknesses, vulnerable populations continue to have limited access to basic social services and face increased levels of food insecurity. If immediate livelihood assistance is not provided to vulnerable households, particularly during the lean season (March–June 2020), they are likely to face a much worse food security situation.

    Haiti | Response overview - January 2020 2020

    Throughout 2019, Haiti was marked by major natural disasters that add to the effects of those experienced during the past ten years, the cholera epidemic, and the deteriorating socio-political and economic situation. Compounded by the country’s structural weaknesses, vulnerable populations face increased levels of food insecurity and continue to have limited access to basic social services. According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (October 2019), if no actions are taken to restore the livelihoods of vulnerable populations, the food security situation is expected to further deteriorate particularly during next year’s lean season (March–June 2020), with 4.1 million people projected to be in IPC Phases 3-4.

    The Sudan | Revised humanitarian response (May–December 2020)

    About 9.3 million people in the Sudan were already in need of humanitarian assistance prior to COVID-19. Since the economic shock of South Sudan’s secession in 2011, the Sudanese economy has been in a downward spiral that the country has since struggled to stabilize. Political instability; conflict in the states of Blue Nile, Darfur and Southern Kordofan; poor basic infrastructure; and the reliance of much of the population on subsistence agriculture, has kept close to half of the population at or below the poverty line. The COVID-19 pandemic has further aggravated and compounded the already fragile situation, which is exacerbated by climate-induced disasters such as floods and droughts and food chain crises (desert locust and other plant and animal pests and diseases), with the annual inflation rate in the Sudan climbing to its highest level in almost 25 years since its emergence. In the framework of FAO’s Corporate COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme and the United Nations Global Humanitarian Response Plan for COVID-19, FAO has revised its humanitarian response for 2020 to mitigate the effects of the pandemic and address the needs of the most vulnerable households.
