Brochure, flyer, fact-sheetNortheastern Nigeria: Humanitarian Response Plan 2024 2024

No results found.In 2023, the levels of acute food insecurity in northeastern Nigeria were comparable to those reported during the peak of the crisis in 2016/17. Ongoing conflict, flooding and high food prices are impacting vulnerable households’ agricultural livelihoods, hampering food production. During this year’s lean season (June–August 2024), 1 in 4 people in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states are likely to be acutely food insecure. Emergency agricultural interventions must scale up urgently to increase food availability, access and incomes in the worst affected rural areas. -

No results found.Since 2013, extreme violence provoked by the Boko Haram insurgency has caused widespread devastation across northeastern Nigeria and forced 1.83 million people to flee their homes and abandon their livelihoods (International Organization for Migration, Displacement Tracking Matrix XV, March 2017). The latest Cadre Harmonisé (CH) analysis conducted in March 2017 shows that 4. 7 million people are currently severely food insecure (March to May) in the three northeastern states of Adamawa, Borno an d Yobe, with 44 000 facing catastrophe (CH Phase 5). This is expected to further deteriorate during the coming lean season (June to August), when 5.2 million people are projected to be severely food insecure (CH Phases 3+), 50 000 of whom will face catastrophe if adequate support is not provided in time. Ongoing conflict and attacks have prevented households from conducting their livelihoods, particularly agriculture and livestock production, and from accessing markets and basic services. Howeve r, with over 1 million returnees and most IDPs in accessible areas having access to land, sufficient agricultural support is critical to enable them to benefit from the coming rainy season, beginning in June 2017. -

No results found.The ongoing conflict in northeastern Nigeria and the economic impact of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic continue to exacerbate food insecurity and malnutrition in the region. The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (November 2021) conducted in 21 of Nigeria’s 36 states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory, indicated that about 12.9 million people are in high acute food insecurity (October–December 2021), of whom 2.4 million are in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. These figures are projected to increase to 18 million and 3.5 million, respectively, during the peak of next year’s lean season (June–August 2022), including 13 550 people likely to face catastrophic conditions, if food assistance along with resilience interventions are not urgently intensified and sustained. Providing the most vulnerable households with agricultural livelihoods assistance, including through the provision of quality inputs, remains critical to improve their food security and nutrition. During the dry season, FAO, in collaboration with other partners, is carrying out various interventions focusing on crop production, livestock keeping and aquaculture against potential seasonal food production disruptions and other climate-related shocks, by diversifying sources of food production and income. Beneficiary households are also provided with fuel-efficient stoves to mitigate risks linked to protection, deforestation, health and communal tensions over natural resources, as well as to improve the quality of food preparation, among others.
