Resumen
Descripción
Without immediate interventions, the impact of the ongoing and devastating drought in Southern Africa could result in the number of severely food-insecure people in the region reaching over 12 million at the peak of the lean season (October-March 2020). The drought has seriously eroded the capacity of affected farming households and communities to produce in the 2019/20 season, which has already, started in some countries. There is urgent need to scale up systematic recovery support as well as to invest in resilience building initiatives to address the root causes of rising needs in the region. Without this, food security and nutrition gains made over the past years in Southern Africa could rapidly be reversed, requiring even more costly humanitarian actions in the years to come.
