Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSyrian Arab Republic: Drought and widespread crop failure – Urgent call for assistance 2025
Also available in:
No results found.The impacts of the 2024/25 drought in the Syrian Arab Republic are pushing rural communities to the brink, compounding one of the world’s largest food security crises. With rainfall 54 percent below average and widespread crop failure, farming households are unable to cultivate their lands, pastoral systems are collapsing and livestock-keeping households are rapidly depleting their coping mechanisms. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) seeks USD 66.61 million to support 123 400 households (617 000 people) with time-critical agricultural assistance to safeguard livelihoods, restore food production and enhance resilience to future shocks. This document outlines the impact of the crisis on agricultural livelihoods and food security as well as FAO's planned response and funding requirements. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetSyrian Arab Republic: Protecting wheat farmers by anticipating La Niña-induced drought in crisis-affected areas 2022
Also available in:
No results found.The Syrian Arab Republic is affected by compounding risk factors such as conflict, economic crises and natural hazards, which have severe impacts on food security. In September 2021, forecasts indicated below-average winter rains, likely to again affect wheat production, livelihoods and food security. Many wheat farmers and their vulnerable families are unlikely to be able to access suitable wheat seeds without support. The German Federal Foreign Office’s contribution to the Anticipatory Action window of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO's) Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA-AA) will help wheat farmers mitigate the impact of increasing prices for food commodities, agriculture inputs and an expected below-average domestic cereal production on their food security. Early action protects farmers in the Syrian Arab Republic by anticipating La Niña-induced drought in crisis-affected areas. -
Book (stand-alone)Syrian Arab Republic: Post-earthquake impact assessment on agricultural livelihoods and food security in the northwest
DIEM-Impact report, September 2024
2024Also available in:
No results found.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) conducted a comprehensive post-earthquake impact assessment in the northwest of the Syrian Arab Republic targeting rural households in 17 subdistricts situated in Aleppo and Idleb governorates. Data were collected between 30 August and 16 September 2023 with a total of 3 325 households surveyed. An additional 60 surveys were conducted strategically to enhance geographical representation by targeting areas that were underrepresented in the initial survey sample, aiming to capture a broader range of perspectives and improve the accuracy and reliability of the data.FAO established Data in Emergencies Impact (DIEM-Impact) to provide a granular and rapid understanding of the impact of large-scale hazards on agriculture and agricultural livelihoods using a variety of assessment methodologies, including primary and secondary information, remote sensing technologies, and FAO’s damage and loss methodology. DIEM-Impact presents a regularly updated and accessible state of food insecurity in fragile environments and helps underpin FAO's programming based on evidence.
