Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileCentral African Republic: Humanitarian Response Plan 2024 2024
Also available in:
The Central African Republic is one of the world’s ten poorest countries, with around 7 in 10 Central Africans living below the poverty line on less than USD 2.15 per day. Armed conflict, violence linked to transhumance and floods are the main shocks triggering population displacements and increasing vulnerabilities in the country. About half of the population is projected to be acutely food insecure in the coming months. Most live in rural areas, relying on agriculture for their food and income. They urgently need support to restore their production and improve their food security. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetHigh-profileCentral African Republic | Response overview (May 2021) 2021
Also available in:
No results found.In the Central African Republic, results of the updated Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) projection analysis (May 2021) indicate that 2.29 million people – about half of the total population – are in high acute food insecurity (IPC Phase 3+, April–August 2021), of whom over 630 000 in Phase 4. The main drivers behind high levels of food insecurity in the country are mainly natural disasters, the impact of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) on agricultural supply chains and food trade, food price spikes, plant pests and animal diseases, poor access to quality inputs and productive assets, poverty, as well as insufficient food consumption. Failure to immediately address the rising needs will result in the additional loss of lives, increased vulnerabilities and higher levels of the food insecurity, as well as risks of weakening the long-standing ability of the humanitarian actors to stay in the country and deliver in an extremely complex and dangerous environment. With about half of the population unable to meet their daily minimum food needs, it is crucial to continue to provide livelihoods assistance in order to strengthen the resilience of vulnerable populations. -

Also available in:
No results found.The impacts of the 2024/25 drought in the Syrian Arab Republic are pushing rural communities to the brink, compounding one of the world’s largest food security crises. With rainfall 54 percent below average and widespread crop failure, farming households are unable to cultivate their lands, pastoral systems are collapsing and livestock-keeping households are rapidly depleting their coping mechanisms. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks USD 66.61 million to support 123 400 households (617 000 people) with time-critical agricultural assistance to safeguard livelihoods, restore food production and enhance resilience to future shocks. This document outlines the impact of the crisis on agricultural livelihoods and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements.
