Synopsis (short abstract) Conflict and civil unrest in several parts of the Horn of Africa, with flare ups in the last several months, have rendered millions of people dependent on food assistance and devastated the livelihood systems of many. There is a high probability that hitherto generally food secure households will become chronically food insecure with continued large scale displacements. Recent poor seasonal rains in parts have exacerbated the food difficulties faced by millions.

    GIEWS Special Alert No. 343 - Southern Africa - 26 February 2018
    Erratic rains and an intense dry period in January lowers 2018 cereal production prospects
    2018
    Also available in:
    Erratic precipitation and well below-average rains in January have lowered Southern Africa’s overall 2018 cereal production prospects. Current national maize stocks are forecast at above-average levels due to the record outputs in 2017; this should partly cushion the expected production declines in 2018. Reduced harvests are still foreseen to intensify food insecurity in 2018, increasing the number of people in need of assistance; however, humanitarian needs expected to remain below the levels of 2016.

    Food insecurity conditions aggravated by rapid and significant price increases
    2019
    Also available in:
    Triggered by fiscal challenges, food prices have risen significantly since late 2018, with negative impacts on access to food. Lower production prospects for the 2019 cereal crop and constrained import capacity also raise concerns about domestic supplies in 2019/20.
