Improving water access to drought affected regions in Namibia
2020Also available in:
No results found.The project "Improving water access to drought-affected regions in Namibia" was initiated in 2018 following the declaration of a State of Emergency in June 2016 by the Government of the Republic of Namibia due to the severe and prolonged drought situation in the country. The project came into existence primarily based on the realization that the water supply situation in the country had become a critical concern, especially for vulnerable populations in drought-prone areas. Through this project, the FAO Representation in Namibia has been engaged in availing the much-needed support toward the Namibian Governmet's efforts to fight the reccurent drought situation in the country. -
Emergency responseEmergency response and resilience building to improve livelihoods, food security and nutrition in locust affected regions of Namibia 2022
Also available in:
No results found.Namibia, like many countries in other parts of the world, is experiencing multiple shocks which impact the food and nutrition security of inhabitants especially the most vulnerable (elderly people, women and unemployed youth) segment of society. These shocks include the record climate-induced recurrent droughts in some parts of the country which lasted for more than six consecutive seasons (2013/14 to 2018/19), followed by the COVID-19 pandemic (2020 to 2021), which affected nearly all sectors of the economy and the recent locust outbreaks which ravaged over 1.8 million hectares (including at least 3,000 hectares of cropland). All these shocks have eroded the livelihoods and coping mechanisms of vulnerable households. Through this project, FAO and partners aim to augment the gains realized during the implementation of the Japan-funded and Japan Iinternational Cooperation Agency (JICA) supported project titled “Emergency response and resilience building to improve livelihoods, food security and nutrition in locust affected regions of Namibia”. Specifically, the proposed project aims to strengthen local and national capacities to mitigate these multiple shocks while contributing to scaling out resilient livelihoods with special focus on youth and women-headed households. -
High-profileEthiopia: Belgium's contribution through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities (SFERA) 2024
Also available in:
No results found.The lives and livelihoods of an estimated one million people in Ethiopia’s Tigray region have been severely disrupted by the recent drought in the north. According to the recent seasonal assessment, 4.5 million people are acutely food insecure, including one million drought-affected people, one million internally displaced people, and 2.5 million host community members/returnees still grappling with the lingering impacts of the conflict. To mitigate the humanitarian and economic impacts of the drought, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium contributed USD 500 000, through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities, to support the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations’ (FAO) emergency response in Tigray. In collaboration with the Tigray Bureau of Agriculture and Natural Resources, FAO will provide agricultural inputs (staple crop seeds) to 4 660 households, with each receiving enough seeds to plant 0.5 hectares during the upcoming main rainy season in late May/June 2024.
