GIEWS Update – West Africa-Sahel

3 July 2018


KEY MESSAGES


§   Poor rains in 2017 affected livestock across the pastoral areas of the Sahel.

§   Persisting insecurity hampers access of animals to the grazing areas in northeastern Nigeria, northern Mali and the Lake Chad Region.

§   Large concentrations of livestock in safe areas are resulting in shortages of pasture and depressed prices of livestock products and incomes for pastoralists.

§   Prices of cereals are generally at high levels as demand is reinforced by the return of transhumant pastoralists moving from southern areas to northern normal grazing areas.

§   Livestock prices are at low levels due to declining export demand from Nigeria, resulting in decreasing terms of trade and reducing pastoralists’ access to food.

§   Around 2.5 million pastoralists and agro‑pastoralists are food insecure, and a high risk of livelihood losses are expected during the lean season if mitigation actions are not taken.

§   Timely support to pastoralists’ livelihoods is needed to prevent a deterioration of their food security situation and undesirable macro‑economic implications.
