This progress report details FAO’s work to mitigate the impact of the worst drought in 40 years on food security and livelihoods in the Horn of Africa in 2022. Partners have been generous, contributing USD 120 million towards FAO's Revised rapid response and mitigation plan to avert a humanitarian catastrophe (January–December 2022) through a mix of new allocations and reprogramming existing interventions. With these funds, FAO has been able to provide essential, life-saving, livelihoods assistance to more than 3.6 million people in the region. Thanks to FAO’s support, over 2.7 million children had access to a cup of milk each day.
