In response, the Food and Agriculture Organziation of the United Nations, supported by the International Islamic Charity Organization, is implementing a project to increase livelihood assets and improve households’ skill sets, which will strengthen rural livelihoods and resilience in one of the most severely crisis-affected regions. The project will improve the reproductive performance of 1 000 dairy cows and 1 000 sheep in order to increase the milk production capacity of 1 250 small-scale farmers and sheep herders.

    Thirteen years of conflict and an enduring economic crisis in the Syrian Arab Republic continue to drive humanitarian needs, disrupt agriculture and weaken the country’s food production capacity. The situation worsened significantly after the earthquakes of February 2023. Inflation, high food prices and a declining economy have pushed more than half of the population into acute food insecurity, with millions more at risk. The resulting increased cost of humanitarian response emphasizes the need for cost-effective solutions. Investing in emergency agricultural assistance is crucial. For example, every USD 1 invested in local wheat production yields around four times its value in food produced.

    The Syrian Arab Republic is enduring a protracted humanitarian crisis as a result of ten years of ongoing conflict and insecurity, displacements and damaged infrastructure. To improve food security, it is essential to scale up crop and livestock production through increased agricultural support. Enabling vulnerable households to produce their own food is critical, as food prices remain high.
