Mise à jour sur la sécurité alimentaire Décembre 2025 L’assistance a permis de prévenir la dégradation de la consommation alimentaire dans la commune d’Arbinda Download the report
  • Des résultats De Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) sont attendus entre décembre 2025 et mai 2026 dans une partie de la région de Soum en raison des difficultés dans l’approvisionnement des marchés. Cependant, dans la commune de Arbinda, où les ménages ont déjà épuisé les stocks issus de leur propre production et dépendent de l’assistance alimentaire, des résultats de Crise ! (Phase 3 ! de l’IPC) sont attendus entre décembre 2025 et janvier 2026. Le ravitaillement de la commune le 17 décembre contribue à renforcer l’offre de denrées sur le marché et l’assistance alimentaire nécessaire pour réduire les écarts de consommation jusqu’en fin janvier. Néanmoins, compte tenu des faibles revenus, les ménages ne pourront pas éviter des sévères restrictions alimentaires entre février et mai 2026 et seront exposés à l’Urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC).
  • Des résultats de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) sont attendus dans la commune de Djibo jusqu’en mai. La faiblesse des stocks pousse les ménages à réduire à un le nombre de repas par jour. Entre février et mai, les récoltes de la production maraîchère ainsi que les faibles achats de denrées avec les revenus de la vente de l’eau, du bois, du petit commerce de produits maraîchers et des envois d’argent des proches de l’extérieur permettront de limiter les restrictions alimentaires sévères.
  • Les ménages pauvres dans les communes de Sebba et de Sollé seront en insécurité alimentaire de Stress ! (Phase 2 ! de l’IPC) entre décembre 2025 et janvier 2026 grâce à l’assistance alimentaire en cours depuis octobre, qui couvre au moins 50 pour cent des besoins pour la majorité des ménages. Toutefois, la faiblesse des stocks de leur propre production et leurs revenus, conjugués à des prix élevés, obligent les ménages à limiter les quantités aux repas afin de prolonger leur durée.
  • Conformément aux baisses de 23 à 26 pour cent enregistrés en novembre comparés à l’année passée, les prix des denrées de base devraient maintenir cette tendance et évoluer de manière similaire ou légèrement au-dessus de leurs moyennes saisonnières jusqu’en mai. L’accroissement de l’offre par rapport à la demande et les mesures de restriction à l’exportation favoriseront cette tendance.

Ce rapport fournit une mise à jour des perspectives sur la sécurité alimentaire d’octobre 2025 à mai 2026 et des messages clés de novembre 2025. L’analyse est basée sur les informations disponibles au 26 décembre 2025.

Food Security Outlook Update December 2025 Assistance has prevented food consumption deterioration in Arbinda municipality Download the report
  • Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected between December 2025 and May 2026 in parts of the Soum region due to market supply difficulties. However, in Arbinda municipality, where households have already exhausted stocks from their own production and depend on food assistance, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected between December 2025 and January 2026. The resupply of the municipality on December 17 is contributing to the strengthening of food commodity supplies on the market, as well as the food assistance necessary to reduce consumption gaps through the end of January. Nevertheless, given low incomes, households will not be able to avoid severe consumption gaps between February and May 2026 and will be exposed to Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes.
  • Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected in Djibo municipality through May. Low food stock levels are forcing households to reduce the number of meals per day to one. Between February and May, harvests from market garden production, as well as limited purchases of food commodities made with income from the sale of water, wood, petty trade in market garden products, and remittances from relatives outside the area, will help limit severe food consumption gaps.
  • Poor households in Sebba and Sollé municipalities will be in Stressed! (IPC Phase 2!) between December 2025 and January 2026 due to ongoing food assistance since October, which covers at least 50 percent of needs for the majority of households. However, low stocks from their own production and their income, combined with high prices, force households to limit meal sizes to extend their food stocks.
  • Consistent with the decreases of 23-26 percent recorded in November compared to last year, staple food prices are expected to maintain this trend and evolve in a similar manner or slightly above their seasonal averages through May. The increase in supply relative to demand and export restriction measures will support this decreasing trend.

This report provides an update to the October 2025 to May 2026 Food Security Outlook and November 2025 Key Message Update. The analysis is based on information available as of December 26, 2025.
