Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureYear in review 2021: West Africa
Highlights of FAO's emergency and resilience programming
2022Also available in:
No results found.In 2021, West Africa continued to face protracted insecurity and political instability, with conflicts in Central Sahel and the Lake Chad Basin (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Mali, the Niger and Nigeria). The impacts of such challenges were compounded by the socioeconomic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic. Extreme poverty in the subregion increased by almost 3 percent in 2021 (COVID-19 West Africa Socio-Economic Impact Monitoring Report, released by the Economic Community of West African States). Consequently, the combined effects of these factors have led to a deterioration of food insecurity and malnutrition in the subregion, especially in conflict-affected areas. This publication gives an overview of the emergency and resilience activities implemented in West Africa in 2021. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureYear in review 2021: Near East and North Africa
Highlights of FAO's emergency and resilience programming
2022Also available in:
No results found.The Near East and North Africa region faces several intersecting challenges that have increased fragility, threatened resilience and exacerbated already high levels of acute food insecurity and malnutrition, including famine risk in Yemen. These include scarcity of water and arable land, climate change and climate-related disasters, conflict, land degradation, increasing population growth, and transboundary animal and plant pests and diseases. As a heavily import-dependent region, the agrifood sector has also been severely affected by increases in prices of basic food items and agricultural inputs, exacerbated by the current economic shocks, including those caused by COVID-19. This has worsened the food security situation, especially for already vulnerable families. In 2021, conflict remained the main driver of food insecurity in the region. The three conflict-affected countries in the region (the Sudan, the Syrian Arab Republic and Yemen) were among the top ten countries with the highest number of people in crisis or worse (Integrated Food Security Phase Classification [IPC] Phase 3 and above) levels of food insecurity in the world. This publication gives an overview of the emergency and resilience activities implemented in the Near East and North Africa in 2021. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetBrochureYear in review 2021: Central Africa
Highlights of FAO's emergency and resilience programming
2022Also available in:
No results found.There are approximately 33 million acutely food-insecure people in four countries of Central Africa alone. This includes the Democratic Republic of the Congo – the world's largest food crisis in 2021, with some 27 million people facing high levels of acute food insecurity. The complex humanitarian crises are fueled by the intersecting and compounding effects of conflict – which remains the primary driver of food insecurity – climate extremes, disease outbreaks and economic crises, including those caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. This publication gives an overview of the emergency and resilience activities implemented by FAO in Central Africa in 2021.
