Emergency Livelihood Response Programme in 2015
Within the framework of the 2015 Emergency Livelihood Response Programme (ELRP), the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) planned to deliver livelihood support to 3.2 million vulnerable people and animal health assistance to 6 million livestock. These targets were determined based on information from the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) process and field assessments. The ELRP was formulated and implemented in an extremely challenging and dynamic environment using a two-pronged approach within an overall framework of resilience building: responding to urgent humanitarian needs in the most crisis-affected areas, and continuing medium- to long-term interventions where the situation allowed. With timely and generous contributions from resource partners, by October 2015 FAO had reached 2.4 million people with livelihood support and vaccinated and/or treated 5 million animals.
