Within the context of its Economic Security programmes, the ICRC supports farming and agro-pastoralist communities around the world by providing material inputs for food production, technical support and coaching, to improve their livelihoods.

A key focus in its work lies in the identification of needs faced by rural communities who have become victims of armed conflict, the planning and development of sustainable responses aiming at strengthening their resilience, and monitoring the impact of these programmes.
