Resumen
Descripción
On 15 April 2023, an armed conflict erupted between the Sudanese Armed Forces and the Rapid Support Forces in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. Over four months since fighting began, the conflict has since spilled over into the Darfur region and parts of Kordofan and Blue Nile states, reigniting intercommunal violence and causing widespread displacement. Fighting continues to jeopardize the food security and nutrition of millions of people, worsening a highly fragile ecosystem. In response, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) scaled up its response actions and launched a 12-month Emergency Livelihood Response Plan (ELRP). The ELRP, to be implemented from September 2023 to August 2024, requires urgent funding to reach 10.1 million farmers, herders and fishers with vital livelihoods support. This includes distributing emergency seeds, providing livestock, veterinary and fisheries support, and enhancing the adoption of good agricultural practices. The ELRP aims to mitigate the impact of the recent conflict on vulnerable people, address their immedate needs, and enhance their ability to recover and strengthen their resilience. Agriculture remains a lifeline in the Sudan.
