Synopsis (short abstract) The war in Ukraine continues to compound the vulnerabilities of rural communities, especially those living near the frontline. Rural households have lost their productive capacities due to displacement, damaged land, infrastructure and equipment, and lack of access to key production inputs. Consequently, rural communities are increasingly becoming food aid beneficiaries and nearly one‑third of planned food aid beneficiaries under the 2024 Humanitarian Response Plan are rural people who traditionally produce their own food. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has developed the 2024 Emergency Response Plan (ERP). Through the 2024 ERP, FAO aims to mobilize USD 150 million to provide emergency livelihoods assistance to 315 800 households (821 080 people). The ERP focuses on the delivery of time-critical support to rural communities in war-affected areas to enable them to restore their production, improve their food security and avoid reliance on food aid. This document provides an overview of the context, planned response, expected outcomes, and implementation arrangements of the 2024 ERP.

    This document provides an up-to-date summary of the humanitarian situation in Ukraine and the response of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) on the ground. Through its 2023 Response Programme for Ukraine, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) required a total of USD 205 million to assist rural households and small-scale farmers residing in the front-line oblasts by distributing agricultural production inputs to ensure that these communities can rely on their own production. As of 4 December 2023, FAO has mobilized USD 45.3 million, leaving a gap of USD 159.7 million. Since the escalation of the war in February 2022, FAO has supported over 185 000 rural families with vegetable seeds, animal feed, poultry, vouchers and cash and 10 000 farmers with temporary grain storage equipment, cereal seeds and generators. Under its Emergency Response Programme (ERP) for 2024, FAO requires USD 151 million to address and reduce the humanitarian needs of 315 800 vulnerable rural families (821 080 people) in ten frontline oblasts. FAO’s Programme for 2024 focuses on securing spring and winter crop harvests, maintaining healthy and productive livestock, augmenting food and income sources and covering basic needs while restoring production.

    Ukraine: Response programme, January–December 2023
    Restoring food systems and protecting food security in Ukraine

    The war in Ukraine is significantly impacting food security at the national and global levels. Without urgent support to the Ukrainian agrifood sector, humanitarian needs will continue to rise and the stability of global food value chains will remain under threat. In this context, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations is uniquely positioned in Ukraine to implement a multidimensional and innovative response programme to sustain and restore agrifood systems at scale. Capitalizing on its technical expertise and in-country experience, in 2023, the response programme of the Organization will focus on restoring food security and self-sufficiency in front-line communities (Pillar 1); restoring critical agricultural production and value chains (Pillar 2); and enhancing coordination and technical support to the functioning of critical food system services (Pillar 3).
