Synopsis (short abstract) Climatic, political and economic shocks continue in Afghanistan, where two out of every five people face high levels of acute food insecurity. Severe and widespread drought, in addition to an extremely harsh winter, have impacted farmers already affected by the rising cost of inputs. With 80 percent of families dependent on agriculture for their food and income, humanitarian livelihoods support is critical. In 2022, every USD 1 spent to protect rural livelihoods saved around USD 7 in additional humanitarian assistance, generated further income for Afghan families and supplied food in local markets. FAO requires USD 252.4 million to assist 8 million people in Afghanistan in 2023.

    Somalia has endured poor rains since 2020, alongside exceptionally high food prices, conflict, disease outbreaks and other hardships. Over a third of the population is acutely food insecure and more than half of them are rural people, struggling to produce the food they need to survive. FAO has extensive reach and capacity in remote rural areas to deliver cash and livelihood support in time to those most in need. Every USD 1 spent to protect rural livelihoods can save around USD 10 in food-related assistance for displaced families. This document provides an overview of FAO's component of the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan for Somalia. FAO requires USD 247.7 million to assist over 2 million people in Somalia in 2023.

    Mali: Humanitarian Response Plan 2023 2023
    Also available in:
    Mali faces a severe humanitarian crisis driven by years of armed conflict, climatic hazards and high staple food prices. Acute food insecurity is expected to increase by 30 percent during the lean season (June–August) and include 1 671 people in Catastrophe (Cadre Harmonisé Phase 5). Nine out of ten Malians affected by hunger are in rural areas, where people need urgent assistance to protect and revive food production. For example, vegetable production support provides families nutritious food and income, with every USD 1 invested yielding four times its value in harvests.

    Currently, nearly one in two Afghans do not have adequate means to produce or access food for themselves and their families each day. Around 80 percent of them are farmers and herders, whose lives, livelihoods, food security and incomes depend on producing food. Every USD 1 to protect rural livelihoods saves around USD 7 in additional humanitarian assistance, generates further income for Afghan families and puts food in local markets.
