Areas of Highest Concern
Conflict events have declined, but periodically affect trade, humanitarian access, and livelihoods. The loss of livelihood assets during the conflict has reduced household food and income sources and eroded coping capacity. Very poor macroeconomic conditions constrain household market access.
Thousands of people are fleeing inter-communal conflict in Jonglei State and the newly created Greater Pibor Administrative Area.
Protracted conflict has severely disrupted livelihoods and reduced income-earning. Food prices remain elevated and food access is inadequate for many households. Currently, 17 million people are in need of humanitarian food assistance.
Recently escalated conflict in Ma’rib, Al Jawf, and Sana’a has caused new displacements, while food imports through the Red Sea Ports declined in February for the fourth consecutive month.
Boko Haram attacks continue in the northeast, and insecurity in the northwest and central states are causing displacement of households and limiting access to livelihoods. Over 2.5 million people are currently internally displaced in these regions.
Protracted conflict in northeast Nigeria is expected to continue to limit household access to food and livelihood activities.
Other Areas of Concern
Due to very poor macroeconomic conditions and the expected two consecutive poor seasons, atypically high humanitarian assistance needs are expected to continue throughout 2020.
The main harvest is anticipated to start in April/May, typically leading to widespread improvements in food security; however, due to the poor macroeconomy and consecutive years of drought, the harvest is expected to be significantly below average.
Consecutive years of poorly distributed rains and drought conditions and the likely poor 2019/20 rainy season is expected to lead to production losses and deteriorated livestock conditions for smallholders in parts of the region.
The harvest across much of Southern Africa, although late and below average, started in March improving household food access to own foods.
The deteriorating security situation is disrupting household access to livelihoods and markets. At least 1,200,000 people are displaced throughout the region.
Conflict has continued to lead to population displacement throughout the region. As of the end of February, nearly 800,000 people were displaced in Burkina Faso.
Ongoing conflicts in the Kasai region, North Kivu, South Kivu, Ituri, Maniema, and Tanganyika Provinces have caused continuing displacement and affected households’ abilities to access typical livelihood activities.
The last Ebola patient was discharged on March 3rd, which may signal that the end of the epidemic is near.
The 2019 Deyr/short rains season was exceptionally above average, resulting in widespread river and flash floods. In some areas, this has slowed recovery from the previous 2018/19 and 2016/17 droughts.
Although aerial control and biopesticide operations are underway, desert locust breeding continues in northern and central Kenya, Oromia and SNNPR regions of Ethiopia, and northwestern Somalia.
