In November 2013, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) fielded an agriculture programme development mission to Jordan with the objectives of updating and expanding its “Agricultural Livelihoods and Food Security Impact Assessment and Response Plan for the Syria Crisis in the Neighbouring Countries of Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon and Turkey” of March 2013, and developing an action plan of key short-term humanitarian relief, medium-term restoration and long-term development interventions aimed at the stabilization and recovery of the Jordanian agriculture sector and building resilience of Jordanian host communities to help them withstand the impact of the Syria crisis. This “Action Plan: Resilient Livelihoods for Agriculture and Food and Nutrition Security in Areas of Jordan Affected by the Syria Crisis” (referred to in this executive summary as the “FAO Action Plan for Jordan”) has been prepared through stakeholder consultations and in line with the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA)-led draft “Towards a Comprehensive Regional Strategy – Dealing with the Effects of the Syria Crisis”, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)-led national “Resilience-based Development Response to the Syria Crisis” and FAO’s “Subregional Strategy and Action Plan: Resilient Livelihoods for Agriculture and Food and Nutrition Security in Areas affected by the Syria Crisis”.
