    Syrian Arab Republic: Protecting wheat farmers by anticipating La Niña-induced drought in crisis-affected areas 2022
    Also available in:
    No results found.

    The Syrian Arab Republic is affected by compounding risk factors such as conflict, economic crises and natural hazards, which have severe impacts on food security. In September 2021, forecasts indicated below-average winter rains, likely to again affect wheat production, livelihoods and food security. Many wheat farmers and their vulnerable families are unlikely to be able to access suitable wheat seeds without support. The German Federal Foreign Office’s contribution to the Anticipatory Action window of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO's) Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA-AA) will help wheat farmers mitigate the impact of increasing prices for food commodities, agriculture inputs and an expected below-average domestic cereal production on their food security. Early action protects farmers in the Syrian Arab Republic by anticipating La Niña-induced drought in crisis-affected areas.

    The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) conducted a comprehensive post-earthquake impact assessment in the northwest of the Syrian Arab Republic targeting rural households in 17 subdistricts situated in Aleppo and Idleb governorates. Data were collected between 30 August and 16 September 2023 with a total of 3 325 households surveyed. An additional 60 surveys were conducted strategically to enhance geographical representation by targeting areas that were underrepresented in the initial survey sample, aiming to capture a broader range of perspectives and improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.FAO established Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.

    Syrian Arab Republic – Post-earthquake rapid needs assessment on agricultural livelihoods and production in the northwest
    Data in Emergencies Impact report, April 2023

    On 6 February 2023, two devastating earthquakes struck southern Türkiye also affecting the northwestern governorates of the Syrian Arab Republic, causing extensive damage to agricultural livelihoods and production. This Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) report presents the results of the assessment carried out in March 2023 conducted by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Data collection lasted for seven days and took place from 9 to 15 March. A total of 190 interviews were conducted in 135 communities. FAO created the DIEM-Impact system to provide a rapid, granular analysis of the consequences of large-scale hazards on agricultural value chains and livelihoods. This analysis is based on a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information collection, remote sensing technologies, and FAO's damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact can be activated in the context of sudden-onset and slow-onset hazards, natural or human-induced, including floods, cyclones and tropical storms, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, drought, invasive pests such as fall armyworm, pandemics and economic crises.
