Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s Famine Prevention and Drought Response Plan is part of a wider humanitarian response involving UN, and international and local NGO partners to prevent a famine this year in Somalia. It complements WFP, UNICEF and other partners’ response plans to address the main dimensions of food and nutrition insecurity. Within this Plan, FAO identifies the distinct needs of rural populations to resist famine, and seeks USD 160 million to urgently support them.

    FAO’s updated Famine Prevention and Drought Response Plan requires an extra USD 115 million between June and December 2017. The Plan builds on priorities and activities set in the first half of the year to prevent famine, against an increased number of rural people and locations at risk. To begin laying the foundation for a quick recovery, the updated Plan also aims to support the early return of drought displaced families and to protect livelihoods against new or aggravating shocks. The revised total budget of this Plan amounts to USD 185 million, taking into account USD 70 million mobilized by May 2017 and additional funding of USD 115 million required for June to December 2017. The Plan has three overarching goals: (i) Keep Somalia famine-free, (ii) Support early IDP returns and their communities, and (iii) Resist new shocks.

    The FAO Somalia Plan of Action 2011-2013 is derived from the recently published FAO Strategy in Somalia 2011-2015 which provides the analysis, justification and underlying principles of FAO’s actions in the country. The overall goal of the Strategy is Improving Livelihoods and Food Security in Somalia informed by the principle of building back better. The Strategy is the outcome of a process that gave high officials from Somaliland, Puntland and South Central/ Transitional Federal Government -TF G the opportunity to voice their views on the priority issues that Somalia must resolve for direct impact and catalytic effect. The results of the discussions were refined and elaborated into specific objectives and outcomes by the FAO Somalia team of national and international experts on the basis of their considerable experience of Somalia and hard data and information from various sources, particularly from the Food Security and Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) and the Somali Water and Land In formation Management project (SWALIM).
