ProjectStrengthening of Food Security Information and Early Warning Systems Affected by the Protracted Syrian Crisis - TCP/SYR/3603 2020
Also available in:
No results found.Rural and agricultural livelihoods in the Syrian Arab Republic have been severely affected since 2011 as a result of economic, environmental and humanitarian factors. Trade sanctions, disrupted supply chains, restricted movement of goods and ailing infrastructure have increased production and transportation costs. In addition, a limited access to productive land due to internal conflict and damage to essential irrigation systems put additional pressure on rural communities, the majority of whom had already been struggling to adapt to decreased rainfall. Consequently, ensuring food and nutrition in rural and agricultural communities has become an especially top priority for the government and for national and international development actors alike. However, current national information systems and data collection protocols specific to food security and early warning systems have proven insufficient vis-à-vis the severity of the national context, thus shedding light on the urgent need to strengthen data and information generation and sharing systems. Planning for emergency, recovery and development interventions in the absence of regular, robust and reliable food security data has made it more challenging to respond to the country’s priorities. -

No results found.FAO, in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture in Jordan, and in partnership with IFAD and WFP, launched the project entitled “Enhancing resilient livelihoods and food security of host communities and Syrian refugees in Jordan and Lebanon through the promotion of sustainable agricultural development”. This project is funded by the European Union, through the EU Regional Trust Fund in Response to the Syrian crisis, the EU Madad Fund. The project addresses the reduced livelihood and food security levels in Jordan resulting from the crisis in Syria. It offers to tackle its negative impact on both refugees from Syria and host communities through support to the agriculture sector. This will be done by improving the agricultural productivity and farmers’ incomes, in addition to creating job opportunities for both host communities and displaced Syrians. The project will also promote social protection mechanisms for the benefit of the host farming community. The project also aims at creating adequate agriculture production support systems for vulnerable smallholders that support good agriculture practices and timely response to shocks and rehabilitate the capacity of the agriculture extension systems to be able to respond to the increasing demand for support due to the impact of the Syrian crisis. In addition, the project will support vulnerable smallholders and small family-based agri-food enterprises to increase the productivity and financial feasibility. The brochure will ensure the visibility of FAO and the partners, including the donor. It will provide information on the project and output 1. -
