Synopsis (short abstract) The Government of the United States of America contributed USD 19 million to the FAO project, "Strengthening the Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) sector coordination platforms at central and state levels, increasing immediate food access and restoring the productive capacities of vulnerable farming and pastoral households", which was implemented from 1 January 2022 to 30 September 2023. The project reached 598 200 households (2 991 000 people), of whom 239 280 were headed by women, and 60 staff from government insitutions and international and national non-governmental organizations. Households were able to produce approximately 123 240 tonnes of food in 2022 and an estimated 900 800 tonnes of sorghum during the 2023 main planting season. In addition to agricultural assistance, communities received livestock and vaccination support. Overall, the project enabled housholds to produce their own food, generate income, protect their livestock assets and increase their access to milk, overall improving their food security, nutrition and self-reliance.

    As a result of devasting floods in 2020, the livelihoods of farming and livestock keeping households across the Sudan were severely disrupted. In response, the Government of the United States of America through the Bureau for Humanitarian Assistance of the United States Agency for International Development contributed USD 4 million to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations for the implementation of a project entitled “Supporting the food security and livelihoods sector coordination mechanism, restoring household food production capacities, and protecting livestock assets of internally displaced persons, returnees and vulnerable host communities”. The project was carried out from 1 January 2021 to 30 June 2022. The overall objective of the project was to strengthen coordination among Food Security and Livelihoods (FSL) sector partners, restore household food production capacities, and enhance the food security of the most vulnerable populations. In addition to strengthening coordination among FSL sector partners, the project directly supported the livelihoods and production capacities of 98 700 households (493 500 people) in the most affected states by distributing agricultural and livestock production inputs; and by carrying out vaccination campaigns against peste des petits ruminants as well as sheep and goat pox.
