No results found.Humanitarian needs have continued to rise in 2017, largely linked to the ongoing drought and its impact on pastoral livelihoods, in particular. As of August 2017, the overall number of people requiring emergency food assistance between August and December 2017 is 8.5 million.New threats to food security have emerged in 2017. The Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD)-induced drought in 2016/2017 in southern and southeastern pastoral areas has affected food and nutrition security in Somali Region, the lowlan ds of Borena, Guji and Bale Zones of Oromia Region and South Omo Zone of Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples Regon (SNNPR). Crop production is at risk from floods during the 2017 kiremt main season and the emergence of the fall armyworm (FAW). Building on the success of FAO’s interventions and scaled up response to El Niño-induced drought in 2016, the Organization aims to support the livelihoods of 1.1 million farming, agropastoral and pastoral households in Ethiopia during the second ha lf of 2017. To achieve this goal, USD 20 million is urgently required to save livestock-based livelihoods and respond to FAW outbreaks, as well as to strengthen coordination, information and analysis for food security and agriculture. -

FAO’s Updated Plan at a Glance: June to December 2017
2017Also available in:
No results found.FAO’s updated Famine Prevention and Drought Response Plan requires an extra USD 115 million between June and December 2017. The Plan builds on priorities and activities set in the first half of the year to prevent famine, against an increased number of rural people and locations at risk. To begin laying the foundation for a quick recovery, the updated Plan also aims to support the early return of drought displaced families and to protect livelihoods against new or aggravating shocks. The revised total budget of this Plan amounts to USD 185 million, taking into account USD 70 million mobilized by May 2017 and additional funding of USD 115 million required for June to December 2017. The Plan has three overarching goals: (i) Keep Somalia famine-free, (ii) Support early IDP returns and their communities, and (iii) Resist new shocks. -

Also available in:
No results found.Drought has now spread across all of Somalia – from the north’s largely pastoral arid lands, down through the central and southernmost breadbaskets. In 2016, Somalia’s two main rainy seasons were poor, both Gu (April-June) and Deyr (October-December), creating a domino effect of losses for vulnerable farmers and pastoralists. Rural families need urgent support to make it through the harsh dry months of the Jilaal season (January-March), and make the most of the upcoming Gu rains. FAO’s Rapid Res ults Drought Response Plan is a time sensitive call for funds. It responds to the most pressing food security and livelihood needs of people affected by drought across Somalia. The Plan focuses on four short-term tangible results that need to be delivered for families to preserve their sources of food and livelihoods: (i) immediate cash relief, (ii) livestock preservation, (iii) a Gu harvest in 2017, and (iv) livelihood diversification.
