Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

Depuis le retour du Maroc acté le 30  janvier 2017, tous les pays

africains sont désormais membres de l’Union africaine. Les 55 membres sont répartis en cinq zones géographiques (Nord, Sud, Est, Ouest et Centre). La diaspora est considérée depuis 2003 comme sixième région afin d’encourager la participation des personnes d’origine africaine résidant en dehors du continent. L’Afrique de l’Ouest, avec ses 15 États membres de la Communauté économique des États

de l’Afrique de l’Ouest (CEDEAO), est la région avec le plus grand nombre de pays. C’est également la région la plus peuplée, avec environ 350  millions de personnes en 2015. Le Nigéria compte plus de la moitié de la population ouest-africaine et devrait devenir le troisième pays le plus peuplé d’ici 2050, après la Chine et l’Inde. L’Union africaine reconnaît huit communautés économiques régionales (UMA, COMESA, CEDEAO, CEEAC, CEN-SAD, CAE,

IGAD et SADC1). Piliers de l‘intégration économique, elles sont étroitement associées aux travaux de l’Union africaine dont elles sont les pierres angulaires. Malgré de nombreux défi s, la CEDEAO fait partie des communautés économiques régionales ayant la meilleure performance sur le continent.
