    Current and forecasted rains in eastern Africa are creating favorable conditions for the Rift Valley fever (RVF) vector amplification, leading to persistent hotspots suitable for RVF occurrence, particularly in southern Sudan, eastern South Sudan, parts of Eritrea, Ethiopia, Djibouti, western Kenya, much of Tanzania, and southern Somalia. For these reasons, FAO and IGAD are advising countries to raise awareness and improve preparedness at national, subnational, and community levels to protect livestock, livelihoods, and public health, especially for vulnerable communities such as farmers and pastoralists. They also recommend better coordination with public health and environmental services.

    Previous and ongoing rains in Western Africa are creating favorable habitat conditions for the Rift Valley fever (RVF) vector amplification, resulting in persistent suitable hotspots for the RVF occurrence in the Sahel belt across Niger, Mali, Senegal, Mauritania, Chad, Burkina Faso, Gambia, and northern Nigeria. For these reasons, FAO is advising countries to raise awareness and improve preparedness at national, subnational, and community levels to protect livestock, livelihoods, and public health, especially for vulnerable communities such as farmers and pastoralists.
