Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetDemocratic Republic of the Congo: Belgium’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.For more than two decades, the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s northeastern Ituri province has been facing a severe humanitarian crisis marked by violent attacks perpetrated by non-state armed groups, triggering massive population displacements. In addition, many communities are affected by natural hazards, such as floods, landslides and drought, exacerbating their vulnerabilities and leading to increased levels of food insecurity. According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) analysis (October 2024), over 1.5 million people in Ituri are acutely food insecure (IPC Phase 3 or above). Alarmingly, 61 percent of those in Emergency (IPC Phase 4) are internally displaced people, who previously relied on agriculture for household consumption and income. About 82 percent of displaced people reside with host families, putting additional pressure on them given already limited resources.The Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 500 000, through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA), to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to provide vulnerable households with timely, lifesaving food production and livelihoods assistance in Ituri. This will help them meet their most immediate needs while creating the conditions to strengthen their resilience. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSyrian Arab Republic: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Thirteen years of conflict and an enduring economic crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to drive humanitarian needs, disrupt agriculture and weaken the country’s food production capacity. The situation worsened significantly after the earthquakes of February 2023. Inflation, high food prices and a declining economy have pushed more than half of the population into acute food insecurity, with millions more at risk. The resulting increased cost of humanitarian response emphasizes the need for cost-effective solutions. Investing in emergency agricultural assistance is crucial. For example, every USD 1 invested in local wheat production yields around four times its value in food produced. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetMozambique: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024
Also available in:
No results found.Mozambique is one of Africa’s most climate-vulnerable countries. In addition to climate shocks, the ongoing conflict in Cabo Delgado is the country’s main driver of food insecurity. With over 80 percent of Mozambicans relying on agriculture for food and income, the sector plays a pivotal role in the lives of internally displaced people, returnees and host communities who struggle to access economic opportunities and sufficient nourishment. Emergency agricultural assistance must therefore urgently scale up to effectively address and reduce food insecurity. This document provides an overview of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) component of the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for Mozambique. FAO requires USD 20.1 million to assist 526 675 people.
