Remote Monitoring Report October 2024 Food assistance needs expected to increase amid lean season in Angola Download the report
  • Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected through May 2025, specifically in Cunene, Cuando Cubango, and parts of Huíla, Namibe, and Moxico provinces. Households are facing food consumption deficits driven by reduced to limited access to own-produced crops and market foods amid below-average purchasing power. Many households are resorting to coping strategies such as reducing the number or size of meals; prioritizing childrens’ meals; withdrawing children from school; accessing wild foods and small animals; migrating in search of pasture for livestock; selling poultry and livestock; and selling firewood and charcoal. 
  • In the worst drought-affected south and east regions, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are likely to persist through May 2025 due to the combination of exhausted food stocks, increased reliance on coping strategies over an extended lean season, reduced assets from multiple droughts, and high food and non-food prices.
  • In the remaining rural areas of Angola, at least one in five poor and very poor households are expected to be Stressed (IPC Phase 2) as general market prices remain high amid below-average income from agricultural labor, reducing purchasing power and forcing prioritization of food over non-food needs. 
  • FEWS NET estimates that 1.5 to 1.99 million people are likely to require humanitarian food aid at the peak of the lean season between January and March. The population in need is largely in southern and eastern Angola. Poor households have limited food stocks and started the lean season early following the poor 2024 harvest, compounded by high food prices.
