Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO in the 2022 humanitarian appeals 2021

No results found.The world has not faced a risk of widespread famine affecting multiple countries so severe in over a decade. In four countries, 584 000 people are living in famine conditions. Elsewhere, an additional 45 million are at a tipping point. Intensifying and spreading conflicts, climate extremes and the continued effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic have pushed more and more people to the brink. Despite this, the agriculture component of the 2021 humanitarian appeals was massively underfunded. Major seasons have passed and with those, a vital opportunity to secure a steady livelihood. Growing numbers of people are forced to rely on food assistance for seemingly endless periods. It is time to take agriculture seriously. Agriculture is among the most cost‑effective humanitarian frontline interventions. Emergency livelihoods assistance responds to immediate hunger needs – ensuring nutritious food is produced right where it is needed most – and provides a path out of protracted and deepening food crises. While food assistance provided after the worst-case scenario materializes is critical, if we don’t start giving equal priority to investments aimed at rebooting local agricultural production to save lives and making agriculture in vulnerable countries more resilient, 2022 will look just like 2021 – or worse. -

Revised version
2021Also available in:
No results found.Levels of acute hunger soared throughout 2020, with the total number of people experiencing crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity globally expected to far exceed 2019’s already staggeringly high figure of 135 million people. The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic has further exacerbated pre-existing vulnerability due to intensifying conflict, historic flooding in some areas, an unprecedented desert locust upsurge, and economic crises. With or without famine declarations, some people are already dying of hunger. With the 2021 humanitarian appeal, FAO is highlighting the urgent need for funding which it will use to continue investing in the most vulnerable people and their livelihoods so that they can lead their future recovery and pull themselves out of acute hunger. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetFAO in the 2017 humanitarian appeals 2016
Also available in:
No results found.In 2016, FAO reached 21 million crisis-affected people, helping them to produce and purchase food, maintain their livelihoods, stay on or return to their land where it was safe to do so and enabling them to provide for themselves. However, forecasts for 2017 are alarming. Millions of people – many of them children – face the very real threat of starvation in Madagascar, northeastern Nigeria, South Sudan and Yemen. Drought is once again threatening herders across the Horn of Africa, further under mining livelihoods that have yet to recover from the last drought. In Iraq and Syria, violence continues unabated, forcing people to abandon their homes and agriculture-based livelihoods. This destroys any development gains made and pushes people into food insecurity in the short term, making it harder to return and resume their livelihoods when stability is restored. In 2017, FAO is seeking over USD 1 billion to reach more than 40 million people.
