Synopsis (short abstract) The Democratic Republic of the Congo is one of Africa’s largest internal displacement crises, with 22 percent of the population acutely food insecure due to increased armed conflict and the impact of climate hazards. Emergency agricultural interventions offer cost‑effective solutions. For example, with a USD‑80 market gardening package, a family can quickly produce a variety of nutritious vegetables, worth USD 480 on the local market, improving their self‑reliance.

    Syrian Arab Republic: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024

    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.

    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.

    Cameroon: Humanitarian Response Plan 2024 2024
    Also available in:

    Cameroon faces a multifaceted crisis due to the conflict in the Lake Chad Basin and Far North, the influx of refugees from the Central African Republic, ongoing tensions in the North-West and South-West regions, and the impact of natural hazards. Hundreds of people continue to flee from their homes in search of safety, causing tensions with host communities over scarce resources. Agriculture provides a livelihood to around 70 percent of the population, yet receives less than 2 percent of humanitarian funding to food sectors. Crisis-affected families urgently need scaled‑up support to produce their own food.
