Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetTürkiye and the Syrian Arab Republic: Contributions to the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) from Belgium, Norway and Sweden 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The earthquakes that struck southern Türkiye and the northern part of the Syrian Arab Republic on 6 February 2023 caused immense damages and losses, particularly in the countries’ rural areas. As a result, food consumption gaps have grown among the most vulnerable people. Given the already dire situation in the Syrian Arab Republic and the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Türkiye, there is an urgent need to minimize the suffering and uncertainty among already vulnerable communities. Thanks to contributions from the Governments of Belgium, Norway and Sweden, through SFERA, FAO expanded its support to earthquake‑affected communities in the two countries by providing critical agricultural livelihoods assistance to address both immediate needs as well as longer term effects of the earthquake. -
Book (series)Evaluation of the project “Supporting emergency needs, early recovery and longer-term resilience in the Syrian Arab Republic’s agriculture sector 2017–2020"
Project code: OSRO/SYR/708/UK
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to increase food availability for vulnerable households through improved smallholder production, build sustainable access to productive assets, income and food supply, and foster an enabling environment for resilience building and agriculture sector recovery. This is the first project of its kind for FAO Syrian Arab Republic, moving away from delivery of purely humanitarian support to implementation of more longer-term resilience building activities. It was an ambitious project combining humanitarian and resilience building activities. The operational context in which it was implemented was extremely challenging. FAO needs to consolidate its support to communities by selecting specific value chains and adopting an area-based approach in which multiple activities can be layered upon each other leading to more sustainable outcomes. In order to maintain its rightful leadership role of the Food Security Cluster, further investment is needed in coordination at the whole of the Syrian Arab Republic and hub levels. -
BookletSyrian Arab Republic: Emergency and Recovery Plan of Action 2025–2027
Living document (as of 1 March 2025)
2025Also available in:
No results found.After nearly 14 years of conflict, the Syrian Arab Republic faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with an estimated 16.7 million people in need of assistance and 14.5 million food insecure. Agriculture – the primary income source for a significant portion of the population – has been severely impacted by displacement, infrastructure damage, climate shocks and market disruptions. In the north of the country, these challenges were further exacerbated by the February 2023 earthquake.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is scaling up its capacities to contribute to the country's recovery in one of its most essential economic sectors: agriculture. This document presents FAO’s Emergency and Recovery Plan of Action (ERPA) 2025–2027, as of 1 March 2025. The ERPA outlines FAO’s strategic approach to supporting the most vulnerable rural households in the Syrian Arab Republic with short- and medium-term assistance, addressing immediate food security and nutrition needs, while restoring self-reliance and income generation to help communities move beyond aid dependence and contribute to national recovery and stability. The ERPA also contributes to shaping a renewed enabling environment for a modernized sector governance, ultimately fostering a more efficient, inclusive and resilient agrifood system.With a funding requirement of USD 286.7 million, the ERPA aims to reach 9.8 million people, while working closely with local and international partners to implement evidence-based interventions that bridge emergency response with recovery activities. It is a “living” document, open to consultation with partners, and will be updated as the situationevolves and further evidence becomes available.
