Synopsis (short abstract) Since the eruption of conflict in April 2023, the Sudan is now the world’s largest humanitarian, displacement and hunger crisis, with conditions continuing to deteriorate rapidly. Famine has been confirmed in El Fasher and Kadugli, while a high risk of Famine persists across a further 20 areas in Greater Darfur and Greater Kordofan. The crisis is driven by widespread hostilities, mass internal displacement, significant refugee outflows, climate shocks and stressors, economic collapse and restricted humanitarian access, which continue to impede the delivery of life-saving assistance. Agriculture supplies 80 percent of the national food supply and remains the backbone of the Sudan’s economy; however, the sector has been severely disrupted. Restoring agricultural production is therefore central to the country’s recovery and long-term stability. Through its Emergency and Resilience Plan (2026–2028), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aims to reach 2 465 000 households with a budget of USD 230.5 million to address the Sudan’s deepening food security and livelihood crisis, improve food security and nutrition, reduce dependence on humanitarian assistance, strengthen resilient livelihoods and contribute to lasting peace and progress towards durable solutions.

    South Sudan: Emergency and Resilience Plan, 2026–2028 2025
    Also available in:

    Since gaining independence in 2011, South Sudan has faced recurring conflict, climate shocks and economic fragility that have left its population highly vulnerable and food insecure. Over 80 percent of people depend on agriculture, yet production is further constrained by limited access to inputs, frequent animal and fisheries disease outbreaks, high post-harvest losses, displacement, natural resource pressures and weak early-warning systems. Ending the cycle of hunger in South Sudan will require scaling up proven agricultural livelihood interventions while addressing the structural shocks that keep households dependent on aid. Through its Emergency and Resilience Plan (2026–2028), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aims to reach 5.25 million people with a USD 255 million budget to improve food security and nutrition, reduce dependence on humanitarian assistance and strengthen resilient livelihoods, while contributing to lasting peace and progressing toward durable solutions.

    Myanmar: Emergency and Resilience Plan, 2026–2028 2026
    Also available in:

    Myanmar continues to face compounded humanitarian, economic and environmental shocks that are undermining agricultural livelihoods and food security, particularly among conflict-affected and displaced rural households. The Emergency and Resilience Plan (ERP) 2026–2028 outlines the integrated approach of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to protecting livelihoods, restoring food production and strengthening resilience. Combining time-critical agricultural assistance with climate-resilient practices, natural resource management, anticipatory action and strengthened evidence and coordination, the ERP bridges humanitarian response and medium-term recovery. With a funding requirement of USD 54.2 million, the ERP aims to support 176 000 households with coordinated, risk-informed interventions that reduce vulnerability and sustain agrifood systems.

    Syrian Arab Republic: Emergency and Resilience Plan 2026–2028 2025

    After 14 years of conflict and recurrent climate shocks, the agriculture sector has been among the hardest hit in the Syrian Arab Republic, with severe damage to productive assets and widespread disruption to food production. As a result, food insecurity remains extremely high: 14.6 million people are food insecure, including 9.1 million acutely food insecure and 1.4 million severely food insecure. Through its Emergency and Resilience Plan (ERP) 2026–2028, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) sets out its approach to restoring essential production, safeguarding core assets and supporting climate-resilient livelihoods. Anchored in the humanitarian–development–peace nexus, the ERP combines time-critical wheat, livestock and irrigation support with measures that strengthen data systems, local institutions and community-based resource management. With a funding requirement of USD 286.7 million, the ERP aims to reach 9.8 million people through coordinated, evidence-based interventions that reduce aid dependence and contribute to a more inclusive and resilient agrifood system.

    Picturing progress – Four betters in focus 2025
    Also available in:
    This commemorative volume marks the 80th anniversary of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), tracing its journey from a founding conviction – that hunger is not inevitable – to today’s global mission of transforming agrifood systems. Through a rich collection of photographs and narratives, the book illustrates how FAO works alongside farmers, fishers, scientists, governments, Indigenous Peoples, youth and civil society to advance sustainable solutions that nourish both people and planet.Organized around FAO’s vision of the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life – the book highlights concrete progress: from regenerative farming and climate-smart livestock, to school feeding programmes, land restoration and inclusive digital innovation. It reflects on both the challenges and the opportunities facing agrifood systems, including climate volatility, conflict and inequality, while showing how collaboration, knowledge and innovation create pathways for resilience and hope.Arriving at a moment of reflection and renewal, this volume is both tribute and testimony: to the millions of people whose daily efforts sustain our world, and to FAO’s enduring commitment to building sustainable, inclusive and equitable agrifood systems that leave no one behind.
