Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetKenya: Germany’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window
Supporting vulnerable communities to anticipate the impact of potential El Niño-induced floods
2023Also available in:
No results found.From late 2020 to early 2023, Kenya experienced a severe and prolonged drought, causing consecutive harvests to fail. Millions of animals died, which would otherwise have provided nourishment and sustained livelihoods. Unexpectedly, excessive rainfall in March 2023 led to flash flooding and landslides, disrupting transportation networks and displacing communities. Various climate models showed a high likelihood of further above‑average rainfall in East Africa, with possible flooding during the last quarter of 2023, due to the expected effects of El Niño. To reduce the impact of the expected disaster ahead of time, funding from the German Federal Foreign Office contributed to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities – Anticipatory Action window, to immediately implement Anticipatory Actions aimed at saving lives and safeguarding the livelihoods of communities at risk from the possible effects of flooding. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetUganda: Germany’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window 2023

No results found.Since 2019, Uganda’s Karamoja subregion has suffered from progressive food insecurity as a result of below-average crop and livestock production due to erratic weather conditions, plant pests and animal diseases, and price shocks. In October 2022, information and surveillance reports indicated a suspected outbreak of foot-and-mouth disease (FMD), one of the most threatening diseases for livestock in Uganda due to its high socio-economic impact, the complexity in its control and its rapid spread. Thanks to the German Federal Foreign Office’s contribution to the SFERA – Anticipatory Action window, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) will provide vaccination and prophylactic treatment to livestock belonging to over 27 200 pastoral households in Karamoja. This will protect their livelihoods as they depend on livestock as a critical source of income and to meet their nutritional needs, reducing poverty and building resilience against future shocks. -
Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetZimbabwe: Sweden’s contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) – Anticipatory Action window 2023

No results found.Zimbabwe has been plagued by multiple hazards over the last decade, suffering from a series of climatic shocks including cyclones, droughts, floods and pest infestations coupled with severe economic challenges. This has caused significant damage to agricultural livelihoods and impacted food security. Regional and national seasonal forecasts predicted above-average rainfall during the 2022/23 rainy season, showing an increased risk of flooding coinciding with the ongoing agricultural season. This would have strong impacts on vulnerable small-scale farmers. Thanks to the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency’s (Sida's) contribution to the SFERA – Anticipatory Action window, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is putting in place Anticipatory Action measures to mitigate the potential impact of expected floods on vulnerable households. If the triggers are hit, the intervention will support households in Matobo and Gwanda in cooperation with partners and the government through the provision of training and protection measures.
