    The number of people facing severe hunger in the world continues to rise. Conflict and extreme climate events remain the main drivers behind severe food crises. Often occurring simultaneously, all dimensions of food security – food availability, access and utilization – are further undermined. Agriculture – the main source of livelihood for the majority of crisis affected populations – plays a crucial role in fighting hunger. Investing in agricultural support from the onset of a crisis saves lives and enables families trapped by fighting or living in remote areas to rapidly resume local food production and earn an income. In 2019, FAO’s response will continue to be scaled up to strengthen the resilience and adaptive capacities of people’s livelihoods and food systems. This will help to address the root causes of increased food insecurity and malnutrition, particularly of those most exposed and vulnerable to shocks. FAO requires USD 940 million to assist 32 million people in 2019.

    Over 80 percent of people in Mozambique depend on agriculture for survival. In Cabo Delgado, relentless conflict and climate shocks have shattered lives and livelihoods. With food insecurity and malnutrition surging, farmers and fishers are struggling to recover as resources dwindle and coping mechanisms are eroded. Urgent action is critical to help these communities restore their ability to produce food and break free from prolonged reliance on aid.

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

    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.
