Descripción
On 1–3 March 2023, Tropical Cyclone Judy and Tropical Cyclone Kevin caused significant damage and losses to the agriculture sector and its subsectors in Vanuatu, exceeding USD 120 million. The twin tropical cyclones disrupted the livelihoods of more than 47 percent of farming households; and exacerbated their pre-existing vulnerabilities, following years of enormous challenges caused by Tropical Cyclone Harold, COVID-19 and three consecutive years of La Niña. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) joined forces with the Government of Vanuatu to scale up emergency and resilience interventions. The overall objective of the response is to enable the affected communities to restore their livelihoods and resume food production. This document provides an overview of FAO's response on the ground as well as the planned response until December 2023 and funding requirements.
