Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetDry Corridor: Canada’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window 2023
Also available in:
No results found.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. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetAnticipating food crises – Common principles to address challenges relating to Anticipatory Action
Outcomes of the Anticipating Food Crises workshop, Rome, November 2022
2023Also available in:
No results found.Anticipatory Action can play a critical role in disaster prevention efforts and in addressing the root causes of vulnerability to build resilience and help curb and reverse current food insecurity trends. In November 2022, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Food Programme (WFP) and the Global Network against Food Crises (GNAFC) gathered to advance discussions and agreements on the principles and criteria of four topics identified as key for scaling up Anticipatory Action in food crises contexts. This outcome document reflects the conclusions reached at the 2022 Anticipating Food Crises workshop and is intended to support the work of policymakers and practitioners in Anticipatory Action, ensuring that theory is put into practice to support those who need it most. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEl Niño: Anticipatory Action and Response Plan, October 2023–March 2024
Mitigating the expected impacts of El Niño-induced climate extremes on agriculture and food security
2023Also available in:
No results found.The latest forecasts point to a greater than 80 percent chance of El Niño continuing through March–May 2024, following declaration of the onset of El Niño conditions in early July 2023 by the World Meteorological Organization. The strength is expected to be comparable to the top six strongest events in recorded history, increasing the likelihood of extreme weather and climate hazards, ranging from drought to floods and storms. By disrupting rainfall and temperature patterns, El Niño may strongly impact agriculture, rural livelihoods and food security. Such early warnings clearly call for early action. FAO’s El Niño Anticipatory Action and Response Plan requires urgent funding to deliver immediate support in a number of identified countries around the world, based on analysis of historical trends, latest seasonal forecasts, agricultural seasonality and the vulnerability of populations at risk.
