    Dry Corridor: Canada’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window 2023

    In Central America’s Dry Corridor, long periods of drought interspersed with heavy rains threaten the food security of vulnerable populations. Over the last three years, the subregion has been severely affected by tropical storms and hurricanes, coupled with the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Meanwhile, forecasts issued by recent global weather models report that the El Niño Southern Oscillation phenomenon is likely to transition from a neutral to a warm phase between June and August 2023, and is expected to impact the postrera season (September–November), leading to a drop in bean production. Thanks to the Goverment of Canada’s contribution to the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities – Anticipatory Action window, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations will protect the agricultural livelihoods of the most vulnerable households from the expected impacts of drought by providing training and tools for soil conservation to promote water conservation and infiltration.

    To mitigate the adverse impacts of El Niño on people’s lives and livelihoods in Nicaragua, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations has received financial support from the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium, through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities. The generous contribution will enable FAO to provide staple crop and vegetable seeds along with fertilizers to farming households affected by recurrent extreme climate events over the past three years. The support provided will contribute to quickly increasing households’ availability of and access to nutritious food. Technical assistance will also be provided to help recover their agricultural livelihoods following agricultural losses due to El Niño‑induced rainfall deficits as well as to strengthen their livelihoods resilience against below-average rainfall forecasts.
