Resumen
Descripción
With over half of Yemen’s population facing severe hunger and malnutrition rates soaring, rapidly increasing food production, availability and access is critical. Humanitarian food assistance alone will never be able to meet the scale of needs in the country. At the same time, investing in agricultural livelihoods now can lay the foundations for Yemen’s future recovery. Livelihoods support interventions thus play a critical role within the humanitarian response; safeguarding and rapidly scaling up food production and therefore increasing food availability among the most vulnerable.
In 2018, FAO significantly scaled up its assistance, reaching millions of vulnerable Yemenis through through a mixture of crop and vegetable seeds, fishing gear, poultry production kits, cash support, animal health campaigns, restocking and animal feed, as well as value chain development. In 2019, to restore agricultural livelihoods and promote self reliance, FAO requires USD 218.5 million to assist 8.6 million people.
