Synopsis (short abstract) In Iraq, years of instability have led to the collapse of national systems, leaving already vulnerable populations at further risk of increased food insecurity. As a result, hundreds of thousands depend on food aid. With nearly 30 percent of Iraqis living in rural areas, restoring agricultural livelihoods is fundamental to the humanitarian response. Every USD 1 spent on supporting farmers with a wheat production package yields ten-times its value in crops. FAO requires USD 8.9 million to assist 80 000 people under the Humanitarian Response Plan in 2022.

    Iraq is vulnerable to the impact of COVID-19 due to pre-existing vulnerabilities, including poverty, dwindling natural resources and ongoing displacement due to past conflicts. In addition, the collapse of the global oil market in April has also had serious implications for Iraq’s capacity to import food. While the full impact of COVID-19 on food security is not yet known, the urgent and essential measures in place to control its spread have exacerbated the effects of the ongoing humanitarian situation. From the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Government of Iraq has exempted agricultural stakeholders from movement restrictions, allowing them to continue production and transport of agricultural goods. However, challenges in the development of major value chains remain and unless the constraints facing agricultural supply chains are addressed, food security and job opportunities will be affected. 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.
