Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetCameroon: Belgium's contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Cameroon, as most countries in the Sahel, is currently facing shocks that are affecting people’s food security and livelihoods. The upsurge in attacks by non‑state armed groups in the Far North region on the border with Nigeria, the sociopolitical crisis in the North-West and South-West regions and the influx of Central African refugees in the East and Adamawa regions are the main factors exacerbating people’s vulnerabilities. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) together with the Kingdom of Belgium contribute to the Government of Cameroon’s Emergency Plan to Combat Food Crisis in the country through agriculture and livestock support in the eastern region. -

In Cameroon, the Far North region is grappling with a worsening multidimensional crisis – climatic, humanitarian and security-related – that severely undermines peoples' food security. In response, the European Union has provided EUR 2.95 million in funding to FAO's project entitled: “Reducing humanitarian needs in the Far North by scaling up anticipatory actions”. The project will run until 30 June 2026 and aims to reduce vulnerability and improve the livelihoods of rural communities by enhancing coordination and strengthening local governance mechanisms for preparedness and anticipatory response. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetDelivering shock-responsive social protection to farmers and fishers in the Philippines
Responding to floods and typhoon in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao
2025Also available in:
No results found.The Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM) in the Philippines faces persistent socioeconomic and environmental challenges. In 2020, 81 percent of the population could not meet basic needs, and by 2021, the poverty rate stood at 29.8 percent – more than twice the national average. Decades of conflict, despite a 2014 peace agreement, continue to drive displacement and disrupt livelihoods. The region is also highly vulnerable to natural hazards, including floods, landslides and earthquakes, further exacerbating food insecurity and economic instability.Agriculture remains central to BARMM’s economy, employing 60.4 percent of the workforce. However, shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic and extreme weather events have severely affected the sector. While BARMM recorded a lower COVID-19 infection rate than the national average, the economic repercussions were significant. In 2022, Typhoon Nalgae (Paeng) caused extensive damage, affecting 557 000 people, displacing 102 000, and devastating homes, infrastructure and agricultural activities – especially in Maguindanao.This good practice factsheet documents two FAO interventions implemented between April 2021 and December 2022 to support farmers, fishers and their households. The first intervention expanded social protection coverage to those not receiving assistance to mitigate the socioeconomic impacts of COVID-19. The second enhanced flood response efforts by temporarily increasing assistance to affected farmers and fishers through BARMM’s social protection system. These initiatives demonstrate the potential of risk-informed, shock-responsive social protection in strengthening resilience and reducing poverty in crisis-prone regions.
