Food Security Cereal production in the Sahel (excluding Nigeria) for the season will reach 55.6 million tons, representing a six percent increase over the previous year and a 10 percent increase compared to the average production of the past five years; This output, however, masks disparities between countries. There are significant drops in output of more than 32 percent in western countries (Cape Verde, Gambia, Guinea, Senegal) and increases of more than nine percent in coastal countries.

Cadre Harmonisé for identification of areas and populations in food insecurity in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone Current situation: around 1,235,000 persons need immediate assistance to protect livelihoods and prevent malnutrition Two areas are identified in phase 3 - Crisis in Sierra Leone (Port Loko and Bombali districts). Some lower proportions of population in phase 3 (below the 20% threshold for area classification) are also present in areas classified in phase 1 or 2. Projected situation : around 2,215,000 persons will likely be in Crisis at the peak of the lean season

Cadre Harmonisé for identification of areas and populations in food insecurity in Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone Current situation: around 3,900,000 people are already under stress to ensure adequate diet and essential non-food expenditure without engaging in irreversible coping strategies According to the analysis, it is estimated that a total of 32 areas are currently in Phase 2 - Stress across the three countries. This level of food insecurity is the result of the negative impact of EVD on farming activities, trade, and livelihoods. These populations are at risk of further deterioration, and therefore strengthening their capacity for resilience is essential for preventing worsening outcomes. Projected situation: around 4,650,000 people will likely be under Stress at the peak of the lean season
