Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetTürkiye: Response overview, August 2023 2023
Also available in:
No results found.On 6 February 2023, two powerful earthquakes followed by tremors and aftershocks ripped through the southern region of Türkiye. The earthquake-affected area is known as Türkiye’s “fertile crescent”, accounting for approximately 15.3 percent of the country’s agricultural gross domestic product and employing 14 percent of its farmers. The significant damages and losses to crops, livestock, fisheries and agricultural infrastructure were estimated at USD 6.3 billion. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) scaled up its emergency response and launched its three-year Earthquake Response and Recovery Plan (ERRP) with the overall objective of maintaining food production and availability through the restoration of critical agrifood systems and rural livelihoods. This document provides an overview of FAO's response under the ERRP during February–August 2023 as well as planned response until October 2023 and FAO’s funding requirements to fully implement the ERRP. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetTürkiye and the Syrian Arab Republic: Contributions to the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) from Belgium, Norway and Sweden 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The earthquakes that struck southern Türkiye and the northern part of the Syrian Arab Republic on 6 February 2023 caused immense damages and losses, particularly in the countries’ rural areas. As a result, food consumption gaps have grown among the most vulnerable people. Given the already dire situation in the Syrian Arab Republic and the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Türkiye, there is an urgent need to minimize the suffering and uncertainty among already vulnerable communities. Thanks to contributions from the Governments of Belgium, Norway and Sweden, through SFERA, FAO expanded its support to earthquake‑affected communities in the two countries by providing critical agricultural livelihoods assistance to address both immediate needs as well as longer term effects of the earthquake. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetNortheastern Nigeria: Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states – Response overview (September 2023) 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (March 2023) conducted in 26 out of Nigeria’s 36 states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory, estimates that 24.8 million people countrywide were projected to be acutely food insecure during this year’s lean season (June–August 2023), of whom 4.35 million in the three northeastern states, if appropriate assistance is not provided. The planting season started in June in northeastern Nigeria, with farmers mostly engaging in rainfed agricultural practices. Over USD 68 million are urgently required to continue supporting households during the current agricultural season, as well as to begin the procurement of seeds and other inputs in time for the dry season support programme starting in October. Most crisis-affected households in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe are smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Providing them with essential inputs is crucial to the humanitarian response. For example, investing USD 170 in a crop production package enables a farming household of seven people to produce staple food for about a year.
