Synopsis (short abstract) Over the past decade, Northwest Nigeria has faced persistent conflict, insecurity and violence. This has been exacerbated in recent years by floods and other climate-related shocks. In 2023, the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC) reported 115 000 displacement events – caused by conflict and violence in the Northwest – accounting for 40 percent of all conflict-related displacements in the country. Moreover, between June and November 2024, almost 80 000 people were displaced. This contributed to a total of over 700 000 displaced people in the Northwestern states alone, as of November 2024. In response, IDMC and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) conducted a joint socioeconomic impact assessment in two local government areas in Sokoto State – Tangaza and Tureta – between December 2024 and January 2025. This report presents the findings of that assessment, with the aim of informing programmatic and policy efforts that support durable solutions and resilience-building in the region. It also seeks to inform and strengthen government-led efforts to identify and implement durable solutions for both IDPs and host communities.

    SPIAC-B calls on international humanitarian and development actors to actively collaborate in aligning their support to national social protection systems of both countries of origin and countries hosting the forcibly displaced, ensuring the efficient delivery of humanitarian in-kind and cash assistance when government systems and their shockresponsive capacities are surpassed whilst also foreseeing opportunities for this assistance to strengthen government response capacity. This alignment ensures that no-one is left behind and is in line with the principles of the Grand Bargain and the Global Compact on Refugees.

    Chad: Impact of conflict and displacement on agricultural livelihoods and food security in eastern Chad, February 2025 2025
    Also available in:
    In February 2025, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) Data in Emergencies (DIEM) conducted an assessment in the eastern provinces of Chad (Ouaddaï, Sila and Wadi Fira) to analyse the impact of conflict and displacement on agricultural livelihoods and food security. The analysis is based on qualitative and quantitative data collected from 5 257 permanent residents, and 363 Chadian refugee and returnee households. FAO's DIEM-Impact provides rapid and detailed analyses of the effects of major crises on agriculture, combining various sources of information: primary and secondary data, remote sensing, damage and loss assessment methodology, among others. This assessment sheds light on the food insecurity situation in a context of high vulnerability and supports evidence-based planning.

    Syrian Arab Republic: Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan 2024 2024

    Thirteen years of conflict and an enduring economic crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to drive humanitarian needs, disrupt agriculture and weaken the country’s food production capacity. The situation worsened significantly after the earthquakes of February 2023. Inflation, high food prices and a declining economy have pushed more than half of the population into acute food insecurity, with millions more at risk. The resulting increased cost of humanitarian response emphasizes the need for cost-effective solutions. Investing in emergency agricultural assistance is crucial. For example, every USD 1 invested in local wheat production yields around four times its value in food produced.
