A dramatic humanitarian crisis strikes eastern provinces of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which face acute food insecurity.
Thanks to the Myanmar Humanitarian Fund, FAO provided life-saving agricultural assistance in the most vulnerable areas of the country, coupled with essential training in good agricultural practices to ensure farming is both safer and more productive.
The conflict may have eased, but producing food remains an immense challenge. Climatic shocks, lack of extension services and prohibitive input costs are leaving many families without the means to produce the food they depend on.
This video showcases FAO’s efforts to strengthen resilient livelihoods among conflict-affected communities in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe (BAY) States through the “Emergency agricultural livelihoods and protection assistance in Northeast Nigeria” project.
