While a large number of humanitarian partners are engaged in food assistance, large gaps exist in addressing reduced agricultural production and decreased capacity of rural farming populations to generate income and access food. In order to address these critical gaps, HPF funded USD 2,100,000 for six projects. These projects are in line with the priorities defined by the FSL sector for the first call for proposals, namely, the provision of livelihood farming inputs, livestock interventions and rehabilitation of irrigation systems and infrastructure. Through FSL projects, NGO partners and UN agencies will provide farmers in Northern Syria with farming inputs to produce products important both commercially for the producers and as staples for consumption by the community. A total of 1,235 hectare of land will be planted with vegetables and wheat, and, at least, 97,500 small ruminants (sheep and goats) will receive veterinary services and feed integration minerals. In addition, cash for work for irrigation channels will help support local economy and increase the resilience of communities.
