Synopsis (short abstract) In 2020, Burundi was hit by devastating natural disasters, triggering population displacements and significantly affecting agricultural production. The situation was further worsened by the socio-economic impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and related necessary containment measures. In addition, a significant proportion of Burundian refugees returned to their home country, adding pressure to the already fragile humanitarian context. It is crucial to provide timely agricultural inputs to affected households to mitigate the effects of natural disasters and of the pandemic, while strengthening their resilience to shocks.

    Also available in:
    In 2020, Mali has been affected by persistent and multiple shocks. The socio-political crisis, increased insecurity in the central and northern regions and climatic hazards triggered population displacements, disrupted livelihoods, and exacerbated households’ vulnerabilities and food insecurity. In addition, economic difficulties linked to the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are leading to increased humanitarian needs in the country. It is crucial to support vulnerable farmers and pastoralists to quickly restore their livelihoods and strengthen their resilience to future shocks.

    South Sudan | 2021 Humanitarian Response Plan 2021

    A combination of severe flooding, dry spells, insecurity, disease and pests, the economic crisis, the effects of COVID-19, limited access to basic services and the cumulative effects of prolonged asset depletion and loss of livelihoods continues to drive food insecurity across South Sudan. Without immediate and unrestricted humanitarian assistance to curb the severity and spread of the food crisis, over 7 million people – more than half of South Sudan’s population – are likely to slip into crisis or worse levels of acute food insecurity at the height of the lean season, from April to July 2021.
