Mise à jour sur la sécurité alimentaire Décembre 2025 Une nouvelle vague de réfugiés soudanais aggrave l’insécurité alimentaire dans l’est Download the report
  • Les résultats de Crise ! (Phase 3 ! de l’IPC) et de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) persistent entre décembre et mai 2026 dans les provinces d’Ouaddaï, Sila, Wadi Fira et Ennedi Est où les réfugiés soudanais et les retournés tchadiens sont accueillis. Toutefois, l’afflux continu des réfugiés et leurs relocalisations dans les localités les plus à l’ouest des départements de Wadi Hawar, Kobé, Megri, Biltine, Ouara, Abdi et Djourf Al Ahamar, risquent de dégrader l’insécurité alimentaire de ces départements et d’augmenter les besoins d’assistance alimentaire déjà élevés. L’afflux des 15 912 nouveaux réfugiés entre le 24 octobre et le 19 décembre 2025 augmente la pression sur les moyens d’existence des communautés hôtes.
  • Les résultats de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) se maintiendront jusqu’en mai 2026 dans les départements de Fouli et Kaya plus affectés par le conflit et les déplacements des populations. La province du Lac demeure affectée par les attaques de groupes terroristes et les inondations, entraînant des déplacements des populations et la destruction des moyens d’existence. Les départements de Mamdi et Wayi moins affectés auront des résultats de Stress (Phase 2 de l’IPC) entre décembre 2025 et janvier 2026 avant d’évoluer en Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) entre février et mai 2026.
  • Dans les provinces impactées par le retard d’installation de la saison et par les sécheresses du centre de la zone sahélienne et de la zone soudanienne, notamment le Nord Kanem, le Barh-El-Gazel Nord, le Moyen Chari, le Salamat et la Tandjilé, les ménages pauvres et très pauvres pourront juste maintenir une consommation alimentaire adéquate. Leurs revenus seront insuffisants pour couvrir les dépenses non alimentaires ; ils seront en Stress (Phase 2 de l’IPC) entre février et mai 2026.
  • Les prix du mil et du sorgho continuent de baisser en raison d'une offre excédentaire, largement supérieure à la demande. Les commerçants profitent de cette situation pour reconstituer leurs stocks. Pour faire face aux dépenses non alimentaires, les ménages pauvres vendent des quantités plus importantes de céréales afin d’obtenir des revenus suffisants. Cependant, le prix du maïs, dont la récolte n'a pas encore commencé, reste élevé. 

Ce rapport fournit une mise à jour des perspectives sur la sécurité alimentaire pour le mois d’octobre 2025 et des messages clés de novembre 20025. L’analyse est basée sur les informations disponibles au 19 décembre 2025.

Food Security Outlook Update December 2025 A new wave of Sudanese refugees worsens food insecurity in the east Download the report
  • Crisis! (IPC Phase 3!) and Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes are expected to persist between December and May 2026 in Ouaddaï, Sila, Wadi Fira, and Ennedi Est provinces, where Sudanese refugees and Chadian returnees are being hosted. However, the continuous influx of refugees and their relocations to the westernmost localities Wadi Hawar, Kobé, Megri, Biltine, Ouara, Abdi, and Djourf Al Ahamar departments risk driving worsened food insecurity and increasing the already high food assistance needs. The influx of 15,912 new refugees between October 24 and December 19 is increasing the pressure on the host communities’ livelihoods.
  • Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes will persist through May 2026 in the Fouli and Kaya departments, most affected by conflict and population displacement. Lac Province remains affected by terrorist group attacks and flooding, resulting in population displacement and the destruction of livelihoods. Mamdi and Wayi departments, which are less affected, will face Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes between December 2025 and January 2026 before evolving to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes between February and May 2026.
  • In the provinces impacted by the delayed onset of the season and by the dry spells in the center of the Sahelian zone and in the Sudanian zone, particularly North Kanem, North Barh el-Gazel, Moyen Chari, Salamat, and Tandjilé, poor and very poor households will be able to maintain only adequate food consumption. Their income will be insufficient to cover non-food expenditures, and Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes are expected between February and May 2026.
  • Millet and sorghum prices continue to decrease due to surplus supply, largely exceeding demand. Traders are taking advantage of this situation to replenish their stocks. To meet non-food expenses, poor households are selling larger quantities of cereals to obtain sufficient income. However, the price of maize remains high, and harvests have not yet started.

This report provides an update on October 2025 to May 2026 Food Security Outlook and November 2025 Key Message Update. The analysis is based on information available as of December 19, 2025.
