Edition 1

Synopsis (short abstract) In response to the emerging food price crisis in 2007, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) launched its Initiative on Soaring Food Prices (ISFP), which followed a twin-track approach combining the promotion of quick-response interventions with medium- and longer-term programmes for agricultural growth. As a part of the immediate response, FAO launched 74 Technical Cooperation Programme (TCP) projects in 80 countries1, distributing agricultural inputs suc h as seeds and fertilizers, for the most part free of cost, to vulnerable smallholder farmers to boost their production. FAO made available approximately USD 30 million for these emergency agriculture input distribution TCP projects. The funds provided for these TCP projects and knowledge gained from their implementation played an important catalytic role in mobilizing further funding for short- and medium-term food security programmes and projects. Examples of this include projects funded under the European Union Food Facility (EUFF) and the United Nations Central Emergency Response Fund (CERF).
