Synopsis (short abstract) In Cameroon, the prolonged armed conflict, the influx of refugees from neighbouring countries as well as the impact of climate change, with limited rains and long dry spells, are exacerbating the vulnerability of millions of Cameroonians. Around 40 percent of wheat is imported from the Russian Federation, leading to potential food gaps in the coming months. Nearly 15 percent of households are already affected by poor food consumption, resorting to less nutritious diets and to the adoption of negative coping mechanisms. Investing in the agriculture sector can equip displaced and host families with the means to feed themselves and their communities.

    In the last year, the number of food insecure people in Cameroon has risen by 800 000. Intercommunity conflict, attacks by non-state armed groups, flooding and rising food prices are pushing people beyond their means to cope. Humanitarian agricultural assistance can help crisis-hit smallholders to meet their immediate needs and increase self-reliance, by recovering food production. FAO requires USD 18.9 million to assist 87 000 people in Cameroon in 2023.

    Cameroon faces a multifaceted crisis due to the conflict in the Lake Chad Basin and Far North, the influx of refugees from the Central African Republic, ongoing tensions in the North-West and South-West regions, and the impact of natural hazards. Hundreds of people continue to flee from their homes in search of safety, causing tensions with host communities over scarce resources. Agriculture provides a livelihood to around 70 percent of the population, yet receives less than 2 percent of humanitarian funding to food sectors. Crisis-affected families urgently need scaled‑up support to produce their own food.

    With the conflict now in its thirteenth year, the Syrian Arab Republic continues to face insecurity, economic crisis, drought-like conditions and severe agroclimatic fluctuations. An estimated 12.1 million people are food insecure, of which 49 percent live in rural areas. Without urgent support, an additional 2.9 million people are at risk of becoming food insecure. Humanitarian response to support farming and livestock‑keeping families with restoring their production is critical. Every USD 1 invested to help a farmer grow wheat yields more than 4.5 times its value in staple food produced, for that family, their local community and markets.
