Descripción
Three years of conflict in northeast Nigeria linked to the Boko Haram insurgency have transformed a rural area that, despite being largely marginalized in terms of development, was dynamic and populated into a zone of considerable suffering, significant displacement, high food insecurity and worrying levels of malnutrition. The conflict has cost northeast Nigeria’s agriculture sector an estimated USD 3.7 billion. Looting and fear of attacks have prevented many farmers from working in their field s, leading to the loss of harvests and productive assets, and extremely reduced purchasing power. An estimated 4.5 million people are severely food insecure as of September 2016 - a 34 percent rise since March. FAO has thus designed a flexible action plan to cover the period from September 2016 to May 2017, outlining the Organization's priority interventions and funding needs to tackle the massive food security facing the people of northeast Nigeria.
