Synopsis (short abstract) Over the past year, food insecurity in Nigeria has reached levels that had not been observed since 2016–2017, with Adamawa, Borno and Yobe still the most affected states. The general higher prevalence of food insecurity is mainly due to the adverse effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and related essential containment measures on the supply chain, the unfavourable macro‑economic conditions, high food prices, the escalation of armed and inter-community conflict, localized cereal production shortfalls and floods. Providing agricultural support to vulnerable farmers in time for the upcoming rainy season is thus critical to ensure food production and avert a major food crisis.

    Ten years into the conflict, the humanitarian crisis in Nigeria’s Adamawa, Borno and Yobe States remains one of the most severe in the world with the third highest level of internal displacement in Africa. Predominantly a protection crisis, the situation is characterized by increased food insecurity, forced displacement, chronic poverty and epidemic diseases. With agriculture being the main source of food and income in the North-East, diversifying agricultural livelihood opportunities for vulnerable households, with an emphasis on women and youth, is central to prevent a further increase in food insecurity.

    A decade into the crisis, the protracted nature of displacement has eroded coping mechanisms, significantly weakened resilience and heightened vulnerabilities. New waves of displacement in 2018 add to the already high numbers of people in northeastern Nigeria who had fled their homes. Insecurity continues to be the main trigger for wide-scale population displacement and dire humanitarian needs in northeastern Nigeria. Recurrent flooding and inter-communal tensions also affect the region. In response, FAO requires USD 32.4 million to assist 1.3 million people in 2019.

    The situation in Colombia continues to be characterized by armed group activity as well as natural disasters, leading to increased humanitarian needs. In addition, Colombia still hosts the largest number of Venezuelan refugees and migrants, whose already dire living conditions have further been aggravated by the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), and related urgent and essential restrictive measures. Providing both vulnerable host communities, and refugee and migrant populations, especially in rural areas, with agricultural support is crucial to allow them to quickly cover their food needs and increase their self-reliance.
