Synopsis (short abstract) FAO’s Famine Prevention and Drought Response Plan is part of a wider humanitarian response involving UN, and international and local NGO partners to prevent a famine this year in Somalia. It complements WFP, UNICEF and other partners’ response plans to address the main dimensions of food and nutrition insecurity. Within this Plan, FAO identifies the distinct needs of rural populations to resist famine, and seeks USD 160 million to urgently support them.

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.

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) urgently requires funding to increase immediate access to food and basic needs in rural areas, safeguard livelihoods and support food production where it is still possible, as well as to provide supporting evidence and coordination to ensure relevant and prioritized response actions. FAO’s Famine Prevention Plan seeks to reach extremely vulnerable rural communities in areas at risk of famine to avert further catastrophe. If emergency cash and livelihood assistance is not provided in a timely manner, many more Somalis will face worse outcomes; 213 000 people are already facing famine conditions across the country. This number is likely to rise exponentially in coming months if humanitarian assistance is not scaled up and sustained.

FAO’s scaled-up Famine Prevention Plan seeks to reach extremely vulnerable rural communities in areas at high risk of famine to avert further catastrophe and stem the rapidly rising numbers of persons displaced due to the prolonged drought. Deaths due to hunger, malnutrition and related diseases are on the rise. If emergency cash and livelihood assistance are not provided in a timely manner, many more Somalis in rural areas will face destitution, displacement and famine in the coming months. Immediate and sustained intervention at scale is required to save lives and livelihoods.
