Book (series)Evaluation reportEvaluation of the project “FAO Syria Smallholder Support Programme for Agriculture Transformation”
Project code: GCP/SYR/023/EC
2024Also available in:
No results found.FAO's transition from humanitarian projects to resilience long-term programming has been a positive evolution of programming in the Syrian Arab Republic. This shift has resulted in noteworthy, widespread, and at scale outcomes among vulnerable smallholder farmers. FAO through the programme has demonstrated approaches that can be replicated to support the transformation of agriculture in the Syrian Arab Republic to a decentralized and locally led system. Adopting an area-based approach may have enabled programme activities to be more mutually re-enforcing and potentially created a multiplier effect. Greater consideration of an exit strategy that lays the foundation for sustainability at community level is required and alternative funding partners should be sought for institutional capacity development in resilience to ensure sustainability. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureCounting the cost: Agriculture in Syria after six years of crisis 2017
Also available in:
No results found.FAO has conducted the first comprehensive nationwide assessment on the cost of the war to the agriculture sector. The assessment interviewed more than 3 500 households and conducted focus groups in 400 communities to establish the impact and get a clearer understanding of what support is required to kick-start recovery. The findings revealed that USD15 billion has been lost in terms of production and damaged and destroyed assets and infrastructure within the agriculture sector. The assessment a lso estimates that depending on the scenario, between USD10.7 to 17.1 billion would be required to kick-start the recovery of the agriculture sector. Even though the crisis is not over, the conditions for investing in the recovery of the sector are present in many areas of the country. Such investment will not only reduce the need for humanitarian assistance but also stem migration and encourage the return of migrants. If productive farming areas are neglected, more people will be forced to leav e already depopulated rural areas making eventual recovery harder, longer and more costly to achieve. -
