Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetEvaluation reportSupporting emergency needs, early recovery and longer-term resilience in the Syrian Arab Republic’s agriculture sector
Evaluation Highlights - June 2023
2023Also available in:
No results found.The project aimed to increase food availability for vulnerable households through improved smallholder production, build sustainable access to productive assets, income and food supply, and foster an enabling environment for resilience building and agriculture sector recovery. This is the first project of its kind for FAO Syrian Arab Republic, moving away from delivery of purely humanitarian support to implementation of more longer-term resilience building activities. It was an ambitious project combining humanitarian and resilience building activities. The operational context in which it was implemented was extremely challenging. FAO needs to consolidate its support to communities by selecting specific value chains and adopting an area-based approach in which multiple activities can be layered upon each other leading to more sustainable outcomes. In order to maintain its rightful leadership role of the Food Security Cluster, further investment is needed in coordination at the whole of the Syrian Arab Republic and hub levels. -

Living document (as of 1 March 2025)
2025Also available in:
No results found.After nearly 14 years of conflict, the Syrian Arab Republic faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with an estimated 16.7 million people in need of assistance and 14.5 million food insecure. Agriculture – the primary income source for a significant portion of the population – has been severely impacted by displacement, infrastructure damage, climate shocks and market disruptions. In the north of the country, these challenges were further exacerbated by the February 2023 earthquake.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is scaling up its capacities to contribute to the country's recovery in one of its most essential economic sectors: agriculture. This document presents FAO’s Emergency and Recovery Plan of Action (ERPA) 2025–2027, as of 1 March 2025. The ERPA outlines FAO’s strategic approach to supporting the most vulnerable rural households in the Syrian Arab Republic with short- and medium-term assistance, addressing immediate food security and nutrition needs, while restoring self-reliance and income generation to help communities move beyond aid dependence and contribute to national recovery and stability. The ERPA also contributes to shaping a renewed enabling environment for a modernized sector governance, ultimately fostering a more efficient, inclusive and resilient agrifood system.With a funding requirement of USD 286.7 million, the ERPA aims to reach 9.8 million people, while working closely with local and international partners to implement evidence-based interventions that bridge emergency response with recovery activities. It is a “living” document, open to consultation with partners, and will be updated as the situationevolves and further evidence becomes available. -

Also available in:
No results found.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.
