Results and recommendations, July 2024
2025Also available in:
This Data in Emergencies Monitoring (DIEM-Monitoring) brief shares the results of the sixth-round assessment conducted in June and July 2024 in Haiti. It presents key findings and recommendations for humanitarian actors to utilize in planning and implementing data-driven programming to sustain farmers’ livelihoods and build their resilience to future shocks protecting the food security of rural people. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations established the DIEM-Monitoring system in June 2020. In 29 of the world’s most food-insecure countries, DIEM-Monitoring enumerators collect data at household level on shocks, agricultural livelihoods, food security and needs several times a year through computer-assisted telephone interviews and face-to-face surveys. This regularly collected and granular data is easily accessible in the form of dashboards, maps, briefs and aggregated data on the DIEM Hub, enabling partners and stakeholders to trigger immediate mitigation and response actions. -

Urgent call for assistance
2024Also available in:
Haiti is one of nine countries in the world facing the risk of famine and one of five countries with more than 10 percent of the population in Emergency (IPC Phase 4). With the recent surge of violence, food insecurity levels have further deteriorated – nearly half of its population is acutely food insecure. In response, FAO is urgently requesting additional funding to provide emergency agricultural support to crisis-affected people until the end of the year, to quickly improve their access to and availability of food.

BookletCorporate general interestAfghanistan: Cold wave assessment on livestock
Data in Emergencies Impact report, July 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.Between December 2022 and January 2023, Afghanistan experienced an extreme cold wave. The central region of Ghor recorded the lowest reading of -33°C. A reported 124 people died from hypothermia and anecdotal sources suggest the loss of a large number of livestock ranging from 70 000 to 200 000. The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) Data in Emergencies Information System (DIEM) and its Food Security Cluster partners launched an assessment in the aftermath of the cold wave. The assessment aimed to identify the areas most exposed to cold temperatures and losses; analyse the effects and impacts of the cold wave on livestock and livestock-based livelihoods; assess the preparedness measures that mitigated the effects of the cold wave on livestock; and identify suitable response and preparedness interventions. FAO established 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. -
Book (stand-alone)General interest bookGender and ICTs - Mainstreaming gender in the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) for agriculture and rural development 2018
Also available in:
No results found.While the digital revolution is reaching rural areas in many developing countries, the rural digital divide continues to present considerable challenges. The problem is even more acute for women, who face a triple divide: digital, rural and gender. This publication looks at the benefits of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) when placed in the hands of men and women working in agriculture and in rural areas. It examines the challenges to be overcome and makes recommendations so that rural communities can take full and equal advantage of the technologies. FAO’s E-agriculture 10 Year Review Report on implementation of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) of the Action Line C7. ICT Applications: e-agriculture concludes that while substantial progress has been made in making ICTs available and accessible for rural communities, challenges remain with respect to the following seven critical factors for success: content, capacity development, gender and diversity, access and participation, partnerships, technologies, and finally, economic, social, and environmental sustainability. This publication analyses with the gender lens the seven factors of success, followed by an overview of the general existing barriers to women’s access to, control and use of ICTs. Finally, it offers a series of recommendations for better integration of gender in ICT initiatives, based on gender mainstreaming throughout the seven critical factors of success, illustrated with concrete examples -
