No results found.The insurgency in northeastern Nigeria remains a significant driver of the humanitarian crisis. Severe flooding across the country in 2022 devastated crops and livestock. Price spikes are further hindering vulnerable households’ access to food. By mid-year, 4.35 million people are projected to be acutely food insecure during the lean season in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. Around 80 percent of northeastern Nigerians live in rural areas and depend on agriculture to provide for their families. Restoring their livelihoods is crucial to the humanitarian response. -

No results found.In 2023, the levels of acute food insecurity in northeastern Nigeria were comparable to those reported during the peak of the crisis in 2016/17. Ongoing conflict, flooding and high food prices are impacting vulnerable households’ agricultural livelihoods, hampering food production. During this year’s lean season (June–August 2024), 1 in 4 people in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states are likely to be acutely food insecure. Emergency agricultural interventions must scale up urgently to increase food availability, access and incomes in the worst affected rural areas. -

No results found.The ongoing conflict in northeastern Nigeria and the economic impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continue to exacerbate food insecurity and malnutrition in the region. The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (November 2021) conducted in 21 of Nigeria’s 36 states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory, indicated that about 12.9 million people are in high acute food insecurity (October–December 2021), of whom 2.4 million are in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. These figures are projected to increase to 18 million and 3.5 million, respectively, during the peak of next year’s lean season (June–August 2022), including 13 550 people likely to face catastrophic conditions, if food assistance along with resilience interventions are not urgently intensified and sustained. Providing the most vulnerable households with agricultural livelihoods assistance, including through the provision of quality inputs, remains critical to improve their food security and nutrition. During the dry season, FAO, in collaboration with other partners, is carrying out various interventions focusing on crop production, livestock keeping and aquaculture against potential seasonal food production disruptions and other climate-related shocks, by diversifying sources of food production and income. Beneficiary households are also provided with fuel-efficient stoves to mitigate risks linked to protection, deforestation, health and communal tensions over natural resources, as well as to improve the quality of food preparation, among others.
