Synopsis (short abstract) In conflict situations, peace settlements and cease-fire agreements may often, end violent conflicts, but do not prevent renewed violence or guarantee a permanent end to conflicts.5 According to the World Bank, chances that renewed conflicts will erupt are high and even higher when control over natural resources is at stake.6 In the past two decades alone, Africa has experienced violent conflicts with successive cease-fire agreements and peaceful settlements, which have often been foll owed by outbreaks of new conflicts. Countries in sub- Saharan Africa such as Burundi, Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), Rwanda, Sudan, Republic of South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Liberia, and Uganda are some prominent examples. There are several dimensions of these kinds of conflicts and they vary from country to country. In certain circumstances, the fighting stopped after a cease-fire or peaceful settlement, but there was “no peace to keep” and soon conflicts resumed: Burundi and Liberia are good examples. The United Nations had to act as a de facto administration of these countries until after successful elections. Somalia is on an extreme example that has continued to experience conflicts, with the exception of “patchy” involvement of African Union Peace Keeping Missions, the International Community and highly limited engagement of Humanitarian Organizations as a result of the protracted insecurity.

    This brochure provides an overview of FAO’s approach to supporting the sustainable reintegration of the forcibly displaced. It is part of a series of briefs on durable solutions, which highlight key approaches to forced displacement programming and policy, including tailored approaches to partnerships, data and evidence, with a view to achieving durable solutions to forced displacement including when conditions allow for a safe and dignified return. FAO, with its expertise in rebuilding resilient rural agricultural livelihoods in forced displacement contexts, can play a fundamental role in ensuring the sustainable reintegration of returnees into rural communities. FAO’s actions to support returnees’ reintegration in rural areas at individual, community and structural levels are explored, emphasizing the crucial role of protection-sensitive approaches and the importance of conflict-sensitivity, in order to strengthen food security and nutrition, self-reliance, inclusion, gender equality and social cohesion.

    Project
    Emergency Agriculture Livelihoods Support for Displaced People and Host Communities in the Province of Cabo Delgado, Northern Mozambique - TCP/MOZ/3804 2023

    Extremely susceptible to climate shocks, Mozambique has experienced cyclical droughts and flooding in the last few years, including two major cyclones in 2019. These extreme weather events have compounded the high poverty levels and increased vulnerability across most of the country. According to the Integrated Phase Classification for the period April to September 2022, approximately 1 444 000 people were estimated to be experiencing high levels of acute food insecurity and to be in need of humanitarian assistance. Of these, more than 1.1 million people are in the four provinces of Cabo Delgado, Niassa, Nampula and Zambézia, where many of the country’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) are concentrated. In Cabo Delgado, the conflict continues to exacerbate the food insecurity crisis. Violent attacks by insurgents are increasing and expanding to new districts, with the situation expected to become worse. Currently, 1 028 743 people have been displaced as a result of the insecurity situation and the number of people in need in northern Mozambique has been estimated at 1.4 million. Both IDPs and their host communities are fully dependent on agriculture, fishery, livestock and forestry production for their livelihoods and income. The intensity of the crisis and its impact on the food and nutrition security of the affected populations call for timely and coordinated humanitarian support to rebuild agricultural livelihoods and enable people to become self-reliant and productive once again.
