Somalia has endured poor rains since 2020, alongside exceptionally high food prices, conflict, disease outbreaks and other hardships. Over a third of the population is acutely food insecure and more than half of them are rural people, struggling to produce the food they need to survive. FAO has extensive reach and capacity in remote rural areas to deliver cash and livelihood support in time to those most in need. Every USD 1 spent to protect rural livelihoods can save around USD 10 in food-related assistance for displaced families.
This document provides an overview of FAO's component of the 2023 Humanitarian Response Plan for Somalia. FAO requires USD 247.7 million to assist over 2 million people in Somalia in 2023.
