Resumen
Descripción
The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (November 2023) indicate that over 26.5 million are projected to be in high acute food insecurity (June-August 2024) across 26 states analysed in Nigeria and in the Federal Capital Territory, including 4.38 million in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, if appropriate assistance is not provided. Protracted armed conflict, insecurity, climates shocks such as floods and dry spells, record high food and agricultural input prices, impact of fuel subsidy removal and the devaluation of the local currency are still the main drivers of the deteriorating food security and nutrition situation in northeastern Nigeria.
Urgent funding is required to provide life-saving emergency agricultural support, tailored to the needs and preferences of the affected people, during the current dry season, as well as to begin the procurement of seeds and other inputs in time for the next year’s rainy season. Most crisis-affected households in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe are smallholder farmers who depend on agriculture for their livelihoods. Providing them with essential inputs is fundamental to the humanitarian response.
