Background Information

The spread of conflict, access challenges and widespread flooding are severely hampering the emergency response efforts of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations across Sudan.

Since early-June 2024, FAO, with the support of its resource and implementing partners, has distributed almost 3 900 tonnes of vital crop and vegetable seeds to over 400 000 vulnerable households in nine states (White Nile, Sennar, Northern State, North Kordofan, Gedaref, Kassala, River Nile, Red Sea and Blue Nile). This critical effort aims to boost local food production and restore livelihoods amidst the ongoing crisis.
FAO’s response also includes large-scale livestock and fisheries support, which involves providing households with emergency livestock and fisheries supplies, animal restocking, livestock vaccination and treatment, and mineral licks to feed livestock. In 2024, so far, FAO and its partners have successfully vaccinated almost 2.8 million animals against common livestock diseases, reaching nearly 558 000 agro/pastoral households.
