In the region, recent rainfall contributed to reduce deficits in central Mali and northern Senegal. However, the deficits persist in some areas of the Atlantic side (Mauritania, Senegal and the Gambia) and in Nigeria. These deficits explain the delays in harvesting which prolonged the lean season of agricultural households. The regional consultation of the Regional System for the Prevention and Management of Food Crises (PREGEC), held in The Gambia, announced that the expected agricultural produ ctions (cereals and pulses) will likely be lower than the five-year average in the Gambia, Guinea Bissau, Mauritania and Senegal. This situation needs to be closely monitored as it will unavoidably affect income of agricultural households and their access to adequate food. -

The food situation in Northern Mali remains precarious due to the effects of the conflict on the liveli-hoods of households, high cereal prices, reduced purchasing power of households and the late imple-mentation of certain food and non-food assistance. Nearly half the population has resorted to emer-gency or crisis coping strategies. Provisional estimations of the harvest indicate that the strength and good distribution of rains during August and September mitigated the effects of the late arri val of rains in the majority of agricultural zones in the Sahel. However, in certain zones, rains must continue through October to expect satisfac-tory yields. Overall, an average year is expected in the region. In terms of the presence of pasture and the size of livestock, the pastoral situation also corresponds to an average year, notwithstanding local deficits of pasture observed in Mauritania, Mali, Niger, Senegal and 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.).
