Descripción
Through the Special Fund for Emergency and Rehabilitation Activities, the Government of the Kingdom of Belgium initially contributed USD 500 000 to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to support recovery efforts in Bangladesh following the severe impact of cyclone Remal on coastal districts in May 2024. In response to further devastation from flash floods in August 2024, Belgium contributed an additional USD 350 000, enabling FAO to expand its cash+ interventions. This extended support will reach 9 050 farming households (36 200 people) with cash transfers and vital agricultural inputs to help restore rural livelihoods and improve food security. This document presents a summary of the context and highlights the importance of the contribution to recovery efforts.
