The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has concluded a critical emergency project that provided support to flood-affected farming and herding communities in Pakistan’s Balochistan and Sindh provinces, made possible through generous funding from the Government of Japan.
The FAO-led intervention, backed by a contribution of USD 6.48 million, focused on restoring food production, improving household nutrition, and building longer-term resilience in areas devastated by the unprecedented 2022 floods. Over 74,000 households—equivalent to more than 520,000 people benefited from the initiative, which combined agricultural support with livestock protection and targeted assistance for female-headed families.
