Nigeria

The conflict in northeast Nigeria persists after 15 years, continuing to cause death, destruction, and the displacement of millions. Food systems in the region remain under severe strain due to insecurity, climate change, economic crisis, and poor infrastructure.

Farmers face immense challenges, including land abandonment, loss of livelihoods, and restricted market access, all exacerbated by soaring inflation, which reached 34% in October 2024.

The Cadre Harmonisé (CH) results, published in November 2024, project in 5.1 million food-insecure people (CH Phase 3 and above) during the 2025 lean season in Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe states (BAY States).

Approximately 450,000 people are expected to face emergency levels of food insecurity (CH Phase 4), putting them just one step away from catastrophic hunger.
