Descripción
The FAO Programme of Work 2020–2021 is the second module of the Eastern Africa Resilience Strategy 2018–2022, and the two should therefore be read in conjunction. The main features of the new Programme of Work were presented and discussed with resource partners in Nairobi in December 2019. Since December 2019, the region has been devastated by the Desert Locust, while the full-scale effects of COVID-19 pandemic and the associated containment measures are unfolding as the pandemic spreads. It is eroding the resilience capacity of vulnerable groups including small-scale farmers, herders, fishers and forest-dependent communities and workers in urban areas. While the strategic objective, outcomes and outputs remain unchanged, the new Programme of Work’s activities reflect global evolutions in the humanitarian-development ecosystem, recent and emerging regional threats and risks, particularly Desert Locust and COVID-19, and lessons learned during the past two years.
