With the Syrian conflict nearing its ninth year, 6.5 million people are food insecure, and 9 million are in need of food security assistance. Fighting has damaged agricultural lands and food production infrastructure, causing a significant drop in access to food, an increase in prices of agricultural inputs, and a reduction in livelihoods opportunities. The number of people at risk of food insecurity has remained between 8.7 and 10.5 million since 2017. According to the 2019 Humanitarian Needs Overview (HNO), nearly half of Syrians spend an estimated 65% of their income on food, and 65% of food insecure households (HH) have adopted negative coping mechanisms related to food consumption.
Global Communities (GC) designed the 12-month, $39,555,559 Assistance to Lives Across Syria (ATLAS) program with the goal of addressing urgent humanitarian needs for 529,000 vulnerable, conflict-affected individuals in northwest Syria (NWS) and northeast Syria (NES) in line with BHA’s mission to save lives, alleviate human suffering, and reduce the physical, social, and economic impact of disasters through integrated multi-sector responses that are harmonized and coordinated with other actors in the field.
