A virtual roundtable will present key data and future scenarios on El Niño's impacts across Latin America and the Caribbean. It will highlight projected risks to food security, livelihoods, and vulnerability, underscoring the urgent need for preparedness and early action.

IFAD, FAO, and WFP will outline their joint approach, emphasizing strengthened coordination with strategic partners. This strategy integrates anticipatory action, disaster risk financing (including meso-level insurance), and humanitarian–development programming to support timely, integrated, and cost-effective responses.

Rift Valley Fever (RVF) is an emerging threat to animal and human health, and regional economies. To boost early warning and preparedness in Tunisia, FAO partnered with national veterinary services. They held a workshop to calibrate the RVF Decision Support Tool (RVF DST), building national capacity for risk monitoring, data analysis, and early warning interpretation.

A field visit simulated veterinary intervention post-alert. This exercise tested intersectoral coordination, rapid response, and emergency procedures for epidemiological and entomological investigations.

Oromia and Somali regions faced a devastating 2020-2022 drought, the worst in 40 years, causing nearly seven million livestock deaths, rangeland depletion, and livelihood loss. Despite recent rains, recovery remains slow, with 3.7 million people at risk from forecasted below-average rainfall in March-May 2025.

With USD 1.26 million from the Government of Sweden, FAO implemented an anticipatory drought mitigation project. Targeting 56,500 households (282,500 people) and over 4.5 million livestock, FAO vaccinated 6.17 million animals, trained staff, and distributed feed. These efforts led to a 45% drop in livestock mortality, doubled milk production, a 79% decrease in poor food consumption, and a 54% reduction in negative coping mechanisms.
