Food Security Outlook Update December 2025 Main harvests provide short-term improvements to Far North conflict zones Download the report
  • Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes persist in Logone-et-Chari, Mayo-Sava, and Mayo-Tsanaga of the Far North and are expected to continue through January 2026. From February to May, area‑level outcomes are expected to deteriorate to Crisis (IPC Phase 3). A small proportion of households that are severely affected by repeated attacks, displacement, and production losses are likely to face Emergency (IPC Phase 4).
  • In the Northwest and Southwest regions, Crisis (IPC Phase 3)outcomes are expected to persist through at least May 2026, as conflict continues to disrupt livelihoods, elevate food prices, undermine markets and trade flows, and drive the ongoing displacement of more than half a million people. The number of households in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) is expected to rise, peaking during the southern lean season (March-May 2026). A small proportion of households, particularly those in highly insecure and remote areas with severely eroded coping capacities, will continue to experience Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes.
  • Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are expected to persist through at least May 2026 in Mberé (Adamawa), Kadey (East), and Lom et Djerem (East), driven by limited livelihood opportunities and high food prices as large numbers of refugees from the Central African Republic (CAR) continue to strain local markets and resources. A small share of households — primarily refugees with constrained income sources — will remain in Crisis (IPC Phase 3).
  • Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are expected to persist through May in the urban centers of Yaoundé and Douala, driven by rising food prices and limited purchasing power among urban poor households, particularly refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
