The extension of the rainy season during the month of October should allow the cropping cycle to complete in areas that have experienced late and irregular rains. However, some sectors, such as that of groundnuts, may suffer losses. Overall, the harvest is expected to reach average levels throughout the region. The return of migrating locusts in Mauritania during the month of October should be monitored. The pastoral situation in terms of available pasture and livestock size is also average this year, de-spite localized pasture deficits observed in Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Chad. The first cereal harvests are improving food availability and causing cereal prices to decrease, which will improve the purchasing power of households relying on markets for food access. However, in Niger, Mali and Chad, prices of staple coarse grains remain higher than the five-year averages. The food security assessment in Guinea Bissau reveals high levels of vulnerability among rural households d ue to the poor cashew nut marketing campaign. The situation should be monitored closely, as it remains at risk of further deterioration. Food insecurity in northern Mali remains a concern, primarily due to the ongoing return of displaced populations. Refugees and Internally Displaced Populations (IDPs) are most at risk of being affected by food insecurity. -

In the Sahel and in West Africa, the 2014-2015 agricultural campaign was characterized by a late onset and significant rainfall deficits in the western part of the Sahel (Cape Verde, The Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania and Senegal) and areas in Mali, Niger and Chad. Cereal production (excluding Niger and Mali) is likely experiencing an increase of 4 percent compared to last year and 8 percent compared to the five-year average. However, disparities exist between countries, particularly in weste rn Sahel where a significant production decrease, of more than 32 percent in comparison to the five-year average, is expected. Livestock body condition is generally satisfactory following the rangeland regeneration except for areas where rainfall deficits were recorded in western Mauritania, northern Senegal and areas around Lake Chad. -

Since the beginning of the rainy season, a favourable rainfall has been observed in the region. Yet, deficits were observed in the extreme west of the Sahel, particularly in west-central Senegal, Mauritania, The Gambia and Liberia, the extreme south of Togo as well as the central region of Ghana. Heavy rains caused floods in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, Nigeria and north east Senegal. In addition to the destruction of houses and the exposure to sanitary risks, in rural areas, these floods affected the livelihoods of households (crop destruction, loss of livestock, barrier to the commercialization of food products, etc.).
