Synopsis (short abstract) The Syrian Arab Republic joined FAO in 1945 and cooperation was strengthened with the opening of an FAO representation in 1978. Over the years, collaboration has spanned all areas of the agricultural sector, with an emphasis on enhancing agricultural production and rural development as well as normative support. Since the beginning of the Syrian crisis in 2011, resilience building has been a major component of FAO activities, with interventions targeting households affected by the conflict and host communities across the country.

    Seven years into the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic continues devastating lives and forcing millions to flee from their homes. While the intensity of the war may have subsided in 2017, the rate of displacement was higher than the rate of return. In 2018, an integrated humanitarian and resilience response to the situation facing refugees and host communities is essential. The conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic continues to drive the largest refugee crisis in the world. Therefore, strengthening agricultural livelihoods and the food security of refugees and host communities, and shifting towards resilience-building remain critical.

    The earthquakes that struck southern Türkiye and the northern part of the Syrian Arab Republic on 6 February 2023 caused immense damages and losses, particularly in the countries’ rural areas. As a result, food consumption gaps have grown among the most vulnerable people. Given the already dire situation in the Syrian Arab Republic and the impact of the Syrian refugee crisis on Türkiye, there is an urgent need to minimize the suffering and uncertainty among already vulnerable communities. Thanks to contributions from the Governments of Belgium, Norway and Sweden, through SFERA, FAO expanded its support to earthquake‑affected communities in the two countries by providing critical agricultural livelihoods assistance to address both immediate needs as well as longer term effects of the earthquake.

    The conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic continues to drive the largest refugee crisis in the world. In addition to violence, people face widespread unemployment, lack of formal livelihood opportunities and natural resources degradation that undermine food security. Consequently, millions of Syrians have fled their homes, with the majority seeking refuge in neighbouring Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey. Despite the generosity of host countries, local communities and Syrian refugees continue to face high levels of economic insecurity, unemployment and vulnerability. Establishing and safeguarding the resilience of host communities and refugees calls for a concerted, consistent, conflict-sensitive approach, building national and regional capacities to protect the lives, livelihoods and food security of the most vulnerable across the region.
