Organizational Setting

The Office of Emergencies and Resilience (OER) is responsible for ensuring FAO's efforts to support countries and partners in preparing for and effectively responding to food and agricultural threats and crises.

It is responsible for coordinating the development and maintenance of corporate tools and standards to enable Decentralized Offices to assist member countries to prepare for, and respond to emergencies.

OER ensures humanitarian policy coordination and knowledge, liaison with the InterAgency Standing Committee (IASC) as well as with humanitarian resource partners, co-leadership with World Food Programme (WFP) of the global Food Security Cluster (FSC), organizational preparedness, surge capacity and response to large-scale emergencies.

OER supports food and nutrition security assessment and early warning activities related to emergency and humanitarian analysis and responses.

OER plays a major role in the development and leadership of the Organization's programme to increase the resilience of livelihoods to food and agriculture threats and crises.

FAO is mainstreaming a Humanitarian, Development, Peace Nexus (HDPN) approach throughout its strategic positioning and programmatic design and implementation at country and regional levels.

The HDPN approach means providing humanitarian assistance when necessary, development support where possible, and using peace-responsive approaches to ensure long-lasting solutions.

The objective is to enable activities that meets people's immediate humanitarian needs while at the same time reducing risk and vulnerability by working together towards collective outcomes over multi-year time-frames, based on comparative advantages of different actors in each context.

The HDPN is an expression of the New Way of Working, which falls within the Agenda 2030 commitment to "leave no one behind".

It is critical that these commitments are operationalized at country level through concrete initiatives to work more coherently across humanitarian, development and peace-responsive efforts.

Launched at the 2016 World Humanitarian Summit by the European Union, FAO and WFP, the Global Network Against Food Crises (GNAFC) is a growing alliance of humanitarian and development actors united by the commitment to tackle the root causes of food crises and promote sustainable solutions through shared analysis and knowledge, strengthened coordination in evidence-based responses and collective efforts across the HDPN.

Within this partnership, FAO has a key role in the operationalization of the Global Network at global, regional, and country level with an emphasis on analytical work around food crises to inform decision-making (e.g. Global Report on Food Crises), the identification of innovative approaches to tackle root causes of food crises in a sustainable manner, and then furthering support at the country level for HDPN approaches and improved coordination.

In 2021 FAO completed an external 'Evaluation of FAO's contribution to the humanitarian-development-peace nexus '.

The overarching message from the evaluation is that FAO is ideally placed to invest in a corporate effort to mainstream and adopt HDPN ways of working as part of its organizational DNA.

Creating an enabling organizational environment that promotes the adoption of a HDPN approach is necessary to build on existing and new partnerships to achieving the SDGs.
