Also available in:
No results found.The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (March 2023) conducted in 26 out of Nigeria’s 36 states, as well as the Federal Capital Territory, estimates that 24.8 million people countrywide were projected to be acutely food insecure during this year’s lean season (June–August 2023), of whom 4.35 million in the three northeastern states, if appropriate assistance is not provided. The planting season started in June in northeastern Nigeria, with farmers mostly engaging in rainfed agricultural practices. Over USD 68 million are urgently required to continue supporting households during the current agricultural season, as well as to begin the procurement of seeds and other inputs in time for the dry season support programme starting in October. 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 crucial to the humanitarian response. For example, investing USD 170 in a crop production package enables a farming household of seven people to produce staple food for about a year. -

No results found.The ongoing armed conflict in northeastern Nigeria as well as increased prices of food items and agricultural inputs have continued to negatively affect food security and nutrition in the region. Most farmers have reported production difficulties, mainly to access fertilizers, during the last rainy season, leading to reduced cultivated cropland area and harvests across five states, including in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe. The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (March 2022), which was conducted in 21 out of Nigeria's 36 states and in the Federal Capital Territory, indicated that about 19.5 million people are projected to experience crisis or worse levels of food insecurity (June–August 2022), if immediate actions are not taken. The provision of agricultural inputs to the most vulnerable households remains critical to ensure their food security and nutrition. FAO in collaboration with its partners has been implementing various interventions, including support for livestock and crop production, as well as value chain development and aquaculture to mitigate risks linked to seasonal crop failures and other climate-related shocks, to diversify households’ livelihoods and income sources. Beneficiaries are also provided with fuel-efficient stoves to mitigate risks linked to malnutrition, protection, deforestation, health and communal tensions over natural resources. -

No results found.Increased violence and forced displacement continue to affect the humanitarian situation in northeastern Nigeria – the key hotspot of the armed conflict in the country – that has been further aggravated by trade disruptions and an economic decline linked to the effects of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The latest Cadre Harmonisé analysis (March 2021) indicates that 9.2 million people countrywide face crisis or worse levels of food insecurity (March–May 2021), of whom 3.2 million in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe states. This figure is expected to increase to over 12.8 million people, of whom 4.4 million in the three northeastern states, during June–August 2021, unless resilience-focused and humanitarian actions are taken. Climate change and variability, limited access to agricultural land and high food prices are also adversely affecting the food security and nutrition in the northeastern states. With the deterioration of the food security situation and an increased risk of famine in areas of Borno state, providing agricultural inputs to the most vulnerable households in time for the planting season starting in June is crucial to quickly increase food availability and access. In addition, livestock rearing and aquaculture interventions mitigate the risk of seasonal crop failure and other climate-related shocks, underlining the importance of diversifying livelihoods production and income sources. Finally, providing fuel-efficient stove production support will mitigate risks linked to malnutrition, protection, deforestation, health and communal tensions over natural resources.
