This brief summarizes FEWS NET’s most forward-looking analysis of projected emergency food assistance needs in FEWS NET coverage countries. The projected size of each country’s acutely food insecure population is compared to last year and the recent five-year average. Countries where external emergency food assistance needs are anticipated are identified. Projected lean season months highlighted in red indicate either an early start or an extension to the typical lean season. Additional information is provided for countries with large food insecure populations, an expectation of high severity, or where other key issues warrant additional discussion.
These monthly briefings provide an overview of FEWS NET’s latest Food Assistance Outlook Briefs (FAOBs), including information on the timing, location, and magnitude of current and future food assistance needs. Updates also include estimates of the population in need (PIN) of humanitarian food assistance seven months into the future, in addition to projections of anticipated acute food insecurity outcomes (the highest IPC area-level classification).
