Resumen
Descripción
In Southern Africa, many countries recurrently suffer from arid or drought conditions, cyclones and storms. This exacerbates the already precarious food security and nutrition situation – which has witnessed an upward trajectory in the last ten years. In 2021, the most vulnerable countries were Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. Climate change, the impacts of COVID-19 containment measures, the desert locust outbreak and conflict (Mozambique) contributed to the increased number of people suffering from food insecurity (around 47.6 million in 2021), poor nutrition and loss of livelihoods.
This publication gives an overview of the emergency and resilience activities implemented in Southern Africa in 2021.
