Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetThe Plurinational State of Bolivia: Belgium's contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window 2023
Also available in:
No results found.The population of the Altiplano, mostly indigenous, has the highest poverty rate in the country, and relies on subsistence agriculture as its main livelihood (potato, quinoa, cañahua, barley, oats and alfalfa). This population is highly vulnerable to the effects of climate change and faces recurrent threats such as drought, frost and hailstorms that negatively affect their agricultural livelihoods and food security. More than 2 800 communities and 486 000 families in six departments of the Bolivian Altiplano have been affected by these events. In this context, it is imperative to urgently implement anticipatory actions to mitigate climate-induced risks to the livelihoods and food security of the most vulnerable people. To contribute to the achievement of this objective, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 344 412 to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), through the SFERA programme. Thanks to this generous contribution, FAO will support 6 500 vulnerable households dependent on family farming in the Bolivian Altiplano, with water harvesting storage and supply systems, feeding and animal health actions, as well as distribution of drought-tolerant seeds and agricultural inputs. -

Also available in:
No results found.The lives and livelihoods of around 3.3 million people in Pakistan, mostly living in rural areas, have been significantly disrupted by this year’s massive monsoon driven floods. Their homes have been destroyed as well as schools, hospitals, nearly 1.8 million ha of agricultural land, livestock assets, forests and critical agricultural infrastructure. In addition, some 800 000 livestock were lost. Through SFERA, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 500 000, enabling FAO to not only extend its response to the floods in all four provinces, but also to provide critical support to restore the livelihoods of flood-affected farmers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Punjab. This will not only help them resume food production activities but also enhance their resilience against future shocks.
