Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetColombia | 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan, 2021 Refugee and Migrant Response Plan 2021
Also available in:
No results found.The situation in Colombia continues to be characterized by armed group activity as well as natural disasters, leading to increased humanitarian needs. In addition, Colombia still hosts the largest number of Venezuelan refugees and migrants, whose already dire living conditions have further been aggravated by the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and related urgent and essential restrictive measures. Providing both vulnerable host communities, and refugee and migrant populations, especially in rural areas, with agricultural support is crucial to allow them to quickly cover their food needs and increase their self-reliance. -

No results found.In 2024, escalating violence drove extreme hunger crises from Gaza and the Sudan to Haiti. The number of people facing, or projected to face, catastrophic hunger conditions more than doubled, rising from 705 000 in 2023 to 1.9 million people by mid-2024 across five countries/territories.
Driven by the El Niño/La Niña phenomenon and the wider climate crisis, weather extremes such as severe floods in West Africa, and drought in Southern Africa and across Central America's Dry Corridor, also pushed millions of people to the brink.Emergency agriculture has life-saving impacts in the form of ensuring food is available for families and communities. However, since the peak of humanitarian allocations in 2022, there has been a steady decline in available funds, which has been particularly evident in allocations to food sectors. From Haiti to Mali and South Sudan, financing trends for food, cash and emergency agriculture are simply not aligned with intensifying needs, even when these contexts record populations in catastrophic hunger conditions.In 2024, FAO requested USD 1.8 billion under its Humanitarian Response Plans to reach 43 million people with a range of agricultural assistance.
Despite receiving just 22 percent of those funds in 2024, by mid-year FAO had reached almost 20 million people in crisis countries with a combination of emergency and resilience assistance. When crisis-hit communities are given the means to meet their own needs, they see enormous benefits in terms of reduced hunger and malnutrition, stabilized livelihoods and a step towards greater resilience. Emergency agriculture offers a pathway out of hunger, even in the midst of violence. In 2025, FAO is seeking USD 1.9 billion under the humanitarian appeals. With these funds, over 49 million people could produce their own food and make their own way out of acute food insecurity.
