Synopsis (short abstract) This review covers three types of emergency: slow onset (such as drought); rapid onset (flooding, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanic eruptions, tsunamis; and complex (mostly war or conflict-related). It considers natural disasters and protracted crises only and covers all of these categories of emergencies within Eastern Europe and Central Asia over the past 25 years, based on a set of crises prioritized by the FAO regional team (see Annex A for the list of countries and emergencies). Food chain crises – due to animal disease outbreaks – are beyond the scope of thestudy. The review aims to record the impact of the emergencies on livestock smallholders, the scope, scale, and type of any FAO intervention, and where possible, look at the effectiveness of the interventions for these farmers, trying to draw links to LEGS Core Standards. Cases of each of the three types of emergency are presented. The review concludes that timely humanitarian assistance combined with a medium to long term development and resilience-building approach is essential for sustainability. A conscious effort is needed to identify potential opportunities and logically build on the foundation created by an emergency intervention. The review indicates a wide spread of responses within the region, which have been categorized using the LEGS Core Standards to demonstrate how and where they align. FAO Strategic Objective 5 (Increase the resilience of livelihoods to threats and crises) is also referred to where relevant to show how the responses conformed to FAO organizational outcomes and outputs.

    Also available in:
    FAO’s work in Europe and Central Asia and throughout the world is guided by the FAO Strategic Framework, reviewed every four years. In its support for the 2030 Agenda and its drive for a transformation to more efficient, inclusive, resilient and sustainable agrifood systems, the new FAO Strategic Framework 2022–2031 focuses on what are called the four betters – a set of goals that, when implemented, will help ensure that no one is left behind. In each of the FAO programme countries and territories in Europe and Central Asia, the Organization and its many partners achieved great success in 2022 in advancing towards the four betters – better production, better nutrition, a better environment and a better life. This report provides a snapshot of these important efforts and achievements.
