Synopsis (short abstract) Nigeria is facing one of the world’s most severe food crises, mainly driven by structural weaknesses, macroeconomic shocks, armed conflict, the impact of climate change and pest outbreaks. Millions have been displaced, livelihoods disrupted and smallholder farmers remain highly vulnerable. Despite these challenges, Nigeria has strong potential to improve food security and foster inclusive growth through targeted agricultural interventions in the northeast, northwest and north-central regions. Investing in agriculture can save lives, reduce import dependency, create jobs, and strengthen markets, even in conflict-affected areas.The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations' (FAO's) Emergency and Resilience Plan (2026–2028) aims to reach 12.6 million people with a budget of USD 347 million, focusing on: (i) safeguarding rural livelihoods and improving nutrition; (ii) strengthening resilience to shocks; (iv) expanding market access and employment for women and youth; and (v) enhancing coordination and data-driven decision-making.

    Myanmar continues to face compounded humanitarian, economic and environmental shocks that are undermining agricultural livelihoods and food security, particularly among conflict-affected and displaced rural households. The Emergency and Resilience Plan (ERP) 2026–2028 outlines the integrated approach of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to protecting livelihoods, restoring food production and strengthening resilience. Combining time-critical agricultural assistance with climate-resilient practices, natural resource management, anticipatory action and strengthened evidence and coordination, the ERP bridges humanitarian response and medium-term recovery. With a funding requirement of USD 54.2 million, the ERP aims to support 176 000 households with coordinated, risk-informed interventions that reduce vulnerability and sustain agrifood systems.

    Sudan: Emergency and Resilience Plan, 2026–2028 2026

    Since the eruption of conflict in April 2023, the Sudan is now the world’s largest humanitarian, displacement and hunger crisis, with conditions continuing to deteriorate rapidly. Famine has been confirmed in El Fasher and Kadugli, while a high risk of Famine persists across a further 20 areas in Greater Darfur and Greater Kordofan. The crisis is driven by widespread hostilities, mass internal displacement, significant refugee outflows, climate shocks and stressors, economic collapse and restricted humanitarian access, which continue to impede the delivery of life-saving assistance. Agriculture supplies 80 percent of the national food supply and remains the backbone of the Sudan’s economy; however, the sector has been severely disrupted. Restoring agricultural production is therefore central to the country’s recovery and long-term stability. Through its Emergency and Resilience Plan (2026–2028), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) aims to reach 2 465 000 households with a budget of USD 230.5 million to address the Sudan’s deepening food security and livelihood crisis, improve food security and nutrition, reduce dependence on humanitarian assistance, strengthen resilient livelihoods and contribute to lasting peace and progress towards durable solutions.

    Syrian Arab Republic: Emergency and Resilience Plan 2026–2028 2025
    Also available in:
    After 14 years of conflict and recurrent climate shocks, the agriculture sector has been among the hardest hit in the Syrian Arab Republic, with severe damage to productive assets and widespread disruption to food production. As a result, food insecurity remains extremely high: 14.6 million people are food insecure, including 9.1 million acutely food insecure and 1.4 million severely food insecure. Through its Emergency and Resilience Plan (ERP) 2026–2028, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) sets out its approach to restoring essential production, safeguarding core assets and supporting climate-resilient livelihoods. Anchored in the humanitarian–development–peace nexus, the ERP combines time-critical wheat, livestock and irrigation support with measures that strengthen data systems, local institutions and community-based resource management. With a funding requirement of USD 286.7 million, the ERP aims to reach 9.8 million people through coordinated, evidence-based interventions that reduce aid dependence and contribute to a more inclusive and resilient agrifood system.
