Synopsis (short abstract) Within the span of a year, Somalia has gone from averting a famine caused by the longest drought in its history to the worst flooding on record. Combined humanitarian and resilience interventions are urgently needed to save lives and strengthen communities’ capacities to adapt. Without this, Somalia’s rural populations will be forced to abandon their livelihoods and move to camps and urban settings, rendering them dependent on humanitarian assistance. Every USD 1 invested in safeguarding rural livelihoods saves around USD 10 in food-related assistance to support the same family if they were displaced. This document provides an overview of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) component of the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for Somalia. FAO requires USD 127.8 million to assist 889 488 people.

    Agriculture is an increasingly vital lifeline for people in Haiti. Rising insecurity and low harvests have pushed food prices up. The violence is disrupting markets, supply chains, local food availability and access, and the safe movement of people and goods. Over 75 percent of Haiti’s most food-insecure people are in rural areas. They need urgent supplies to continue producing food for their families and community. Boosting vulnerable farming families’ agricultural and livestock production increases their self-reliance and strengthens their resilience against future shocks.

    Also available in:
    In 2023, access to food emerged as the most pressing need for people in the Niger, where the impact of climate change and armed conflict continue to drive acute food insecurity. Around 80 percent of the population live in rural areas, relying on agriculture for their livelihoods. Investing in this sector is cost effective and not only addresses immediate food needs but also ensures long-term resilience. A USD-124 market gardening kit yields up to ten times its value in vegetables, helping families to quickly produce their own food and generate income.

    With conflict raging since April 2023, the Sudan has rapidly become the world’s largest internal displacement crisis. Humanitarian needs are immense and rising. One in two people require immediate assistance, and more than one in three are acutely food insecure. Intense conflict and continued economic decline have constrained agricultural production, limiting access to food nationwide. Restoring crop and livestock production – a livelihood for 2/3 of the population – is a top humanitarian priority. This document provides an overview of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO) component of the 2024 Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan for the Sudan. FAO requires USD 104.1 million to assist 9 million people.
