All action sheets are gathered on the Food Coalition web hub, where members of the Coalition - a multi-stakeholder global alliance for a unified global action in response to COVID-19 - can easily access the action sheet project-focused information and data as well as the funding gap on the ground, the type of assistance that would be required and decide how they wish to contribute: through voluntary contributions, provision of expert and expertise, innovative solutions and an exchange of knowledge and experience. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO COVID-19 Response and Recovery Programme - Boosting smallholder resilience for recovery
Protecting the most vulnerable, promoting economic recovery and enhancing risk management capacities
2020The COVID-19 pandemic is having devastating short- and long-term impacts on the lives and livelihoods of people in rural, peri-urban and urban settings. Apart from the pandemic’s toll on human health and everyday life, containment measures, particulary the restricted movement of people and goods, are resulting in a dramatic increase in poverty, destroying livelihoods and increasing food insecurity. The magnitude of the impact of COVID-19 has reinforced the need for global collaboration in terms of managing risks and crises, anticipating threats, coordinating responses and resilience building ahead of future crises. It has revealed how communities, even in wealthier countries, are extremely vulnerable to such crises and has underlined the need for a recovery e ort that focuses on building back better through a transition to more inclusive, resilient and sustainable economies and societies ahead of future pandemics, climate change and other threats. Advancing integrated, multirisk management measures is essential to boosting resilience across all systems, especially agriculture and food systems, to ensure that there is enough food and to safeguard the well-being of present and future generations. FAO’s response draws on the Organization’s vast technical expertise and experience of implementing resilience programming over the last decade, bringing together the actors of humanitarian development and peace-sustaining partners to support agriculture, food security and nutrition, both in countries and in global policy and normative work. Helping smallholders to recover from COVID-19 and concurrent shocks, and enabling them to build their resilience to future threats requires transformative, need-based and demand-driven solutions. -

Addressing the impacts of COVID-19 and safeguarding livelihoods in food crisis contexts
2020The COVID-19 pandemic is one of the greatest global shocks in generations. The situation will be most acute in countries already experiencing food crises or those that are extremely vulnerable to shocks. Last year, 135 million people experienced crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity, of whom 27 million were in emergency conditions. For these populations, the impacts of COVID-19 could be catastrophic. As the pandemic progresses in food crisis contexts, there is a real concern about the growing risk of famine. The prevention of food crises cannot wait until the health crisis is over. Due to the seasonality of local agricultural production, the bulwark of food security, urgent support is critical to avoiding a substantial rise in the number of people experiencing crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity, especially as other shocks persist alongside the pandemic. Acting now means targeted interventions to safeguard food supply chains and protect food access and availability for the most vulnerable.
