Synopsis (short abstract) This document summarizes FAO’s contributions to the twelve appeals prepared in close consultation with partners for the 2009 CAP. It includes a brief overview of the agriculture and food security requirements, together with highlights of FAO’s responses and funding needs for: the Central African Republic; Chad; Côte d’Ivoire; the Democratic Republic of the Congo; Iraq; Kenya; Somalia; the Sudan; Uganda; West Africa; the West Bank and Gaza Strip; and Zimbabwe. Confl icts and disasters have se verely disrupted agricultural production and markets in these countries and many households are no longer able to meet their basic food needs. Interventions to restore and protect the livelihoods of populations affected by crisis are as important as immediate lifesaving efforts. They not only prevent situations from getting worse, but also lay the foundations for sustainable recovery and development.

    The food security sector in Somalia is perhaps more coordinated, intergrated and developmental in its approach than in any other complex emergency. This is largely due to the dominance of one actor, the European Commission, with European Development Funds operating within an established coordination structure. The Commission funds the major food security information system, emergency food relief and a variety of ‘developmental’ food security projects, and is the major actor in terms of policy se tting and coordination. Save the Children UK (SC UK) has been active in food security information, coordination and implementation for many years in Somalia. This paper will explore, through SC’s work, the following themes: the funding and operating context in Somalia; the links between information and response; differences in developmental dialogue; the importance of institutional capacity; and strategies to scale up.
