BookletEmergency responseSri Lanka: Cyclone Ditwah – Urgent call for assistance 2026
Also available in:
No results found.Cyclone Ditwah has triggered one of the most severe climate shocks Sri Lanka has faced in decades, compounding vulnerabilities already heightened by prolonged economic crisis and instability. Affecting all 25 districts, the cyclone has disrupted the lives and livelihoods of more than 2.2 million people, with over 1.1 million now in urgent need of food security, agricultural and nutrition assistance. Widespread flooding during the Maha 2025/26 season has damaged more than 129 000 hectares of agricultural land, devastated crops, livestock, fisheries and aquaculture, and constrained timely replanting amid a narrow seasonal window. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks USD 16.5 million to support 256 012 households (1 028 000 people) with time-critical agricultural, livestock, fisheries and cash-based assistance to protect livelihoods, restore food production and prevent reliance on negative coping strategies. This document outlines the impact of Cyclone Ditwah on agricultural livelihoods and food security in Sri Lanka, as well as FAO’s planned response and funding requirements. -

No results found.Between January and March 2023, Tropical Cyclone Freddy – the most energetic cyclone on record – and Tropical Storm Cheneso battered Malawi, Madagascar and Mozambique. At the same time, Zambia experienced destructive storms and torrential rains that resulted in severe flooding, affecting large swaths of inhabited and cropped lands. Critical social and economic infrastructure, fisheries equipment, livestock and hundreds of thousands of hectares of crops have been lost. As a result of these climate shocks, the crop production, food security, nutrition and livelihoods of some of the most vulnerable households have been severely jeopardized. Urgent assistance is needed rapidly to restore agricultural production. -

Anticipatory action – Supporting returnees to resume agricultural production activities
2021Also available in:
No results found.Since the end of 2020, the humanitarian situation in the Central African Republic has seriously deteriorated. This is largely due to attacks from armed groups, who have extended their presence in parts of the country and are responsible for regular violent actions, particularly in the run-up to and following the general elections of December 2020. This resurgence of violence has had considerable impact on civilians and caused the displacement of an additional 321 000 people, bringing the total caseload to 738 280. The post-election violence and displacement are taking place in an already disastrous humanitarian context where about half of the country’s population is facing high acute food insecurity. Of the USD 31.5 million required by FAO under the 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan, USD 14.22 million are urgently needed to support 174 000 returnees and 300 000 host community members across the country through anticipatory action to grow food and avoid hunger in the coming months.
