Syrian Arab Republic: Emergency and Resilience Plan 2026–2028

Synopsis (short abstract)

After 14 years of conflict and recurrent climate shocks, the agriculture sector has been among the hardest hit in the Syrian Arab Republic, with severe damage to productive assets and widespread disruption to food production. As a result, food insecurity remains extremely high: 14.6 million people are food insecure, including 9.1 million acutely food insecure and 1.4 million severely food insecure. Through its Emergency and Resilience Plan (ERP) 2026–2028, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) sets out its approach to restoring essential production, safeguarding core assets and supporting climate-resilient livelihoods. Anchored in the humanitarian–development–peace nexus, the ERP combines time-critical wheat, livestock and irrigation support with measures that strengthen data systems, local institutions and community-based resource management. With a funding requirement of USD 286.7 million, the ERP aims to reach 9.8 million people through coordinated, evidence-based interventions that reduce aid dependence and contribute to a more inclusive and resilient agrifood system.
