Since then, Namibia has seen a spike in agricultural production, thanks to favourable weather conditions except for pockets of household food insecurity in the northwest, west and southern regions hardest hit by dry spells, excessive rains and high prevalence of the Fall Armyworm ( As farmers gear up for the next agricultural season, another El Niño event is probable and already altering precipitation patterns Of particular concern is the slow regreening of vegetation, owing to poor and delayed onset of rains, with severe implications for grazing and livestock conditions in hotspot areas If the current forecast holds, 150 000 households may face a combination of poor harvests and/or reduced herds and further livestock mortalities, as well as limited access to water for the third consecutive season This would be detrimental for livelihoods and the overall ability to cope, deepening food and nutrition insecurity in 2019 with ripple effects felt in 2020 and beyond Against this background, the project aimed to protect and restore agricultural production, incomes and assets, and ensure a nutritious and diversified diet for the most vulnerable households in times of El Niño induced climate extremes and stressors.
