Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

FOOD AND NUTRITION SITUATIONThe Sahel and West Africa have, once again, recorded an increase in agricultural output. Cereal production in 2016-17 reached 67.2 million tonnes, an increase of nearly 17% compared to the fi ve-year average. With the exception of sesame (865 000 tonnes), the production of other crops is also on the rise: tubers (166.7 million tonnes), peanut (8.3 million tonnes), cowpea (7.4 million tonnes), soybeans (1.5 million tonnes). However, these positive results should not lead decision makers to neglect the region’s persistent food and nutrition difficulties, especially in conflict zones like the Lake Chad basin. The Cadre harmonisé1 analysis reveals that approximately 9.6 million people are currently facing a crisis situation (March-May), including 1.4 million people in phase 4 (emergency). By June-August, if appropriate measures are not taken, this fi gure could reach 13.8 million, of which 1.6 million people might fi nd themselves in an emergency situation. The number of severely malnourished children is likely to cross the 3.5 million mark by the end of 2017. The food and nutrition situation remains particularly critical in Nigeria, which continues to host nearly 1.7 million internally displaced persons. Some 7 million Nigerians are currently in a crisis situation, including 44 000 people in phase 5 (famine), mostly in Borno State. The situation is likely to get worse during the next lean season. However, humanitarian interventions are beginning to pay off: the estimated number of people requiring urgent assistance has been reduced by 800 000.

Le Sahel et l’Afrique de l’Ouest ont une fois encore enregistré une augmentation de la production agricole. En 2016-17, la production céréalière a atteint 67.2 millions de tonnes, une augmentation de près de 17 % si on compare avec la moyenne des cinq dernières années. À l’exception du sésame (865 000 tonnes), les autres productions sont également en hausse  : tubercules (166.7 millions de tonnes) ; arachide (8.3 millions de tonnes) ; niébé (7.4 millions de tonnes) ; soja (1.5 million de tonnes). Ces résultats positifs ne doivent cependant pas faire oublier aux décideurs les diffi cultés alimentaires et nutritionnelles persistantes auxquelles fait face la région, particulièrement dans les zones de confl its telles que le bassin du lac Tchad. En effet, l’analyse du Cadre harmonisé1 révèle qu’environ 9.6  millions de personnes sont actuellement en situation de crise (mars-mai) dont 1.4 million de personnes en phase 4 (urgence). D’ici juin-août, si des mesures appropriées ne sont pas prises, ce chiffre pourrait atteindre 13.8 millions dont 1.6 million en urgence. Le nombre d’enfants sévèrement malnutris risque de franchir la barre des 3.5 millions en fi n 2017. La situation reste particulièrement diffi cile au Nigéria qui continue à accueillir près de 1.7 million de déplacés internes. Quelque 7 millions de personnes y sont actuellement en phase de crise dont 44 000 personnes en phase 5 (famine), notamment dans l’État de Borno. La situation est susceptible de se détériorer pendant la prochaine période de soudure. Cependant, les interventions humanitaires commencent à produire des résultats : le nombre de personnes en situation de crise a diminué de 800 000 depuis décembre dernier.
