Descripción
In 2023, the Government of Sweden, through the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), contributed SEK 120 million (USD 13.08 million) to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO). Thanks to this support, FAO implemented 13 projects from 1 January 2023 to 30 April 2024 focused on scaling up life-saving agricultural assistance and implementing anticipatory actions to assist communities affected by food crises across 11 countries, including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Haiti, Mali, Myanmar, the Niger, Nigeria, Somalia, the Syrian Arab Republic, Türkiye and the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela. Through these projects, FAO supported nearly 75 000 vulnerable households (465 000 people) to improve their food security, nutrition, and self-reliance and engage in the livelihood activities they depend on despite the challenges.
