Significance This could worsen to an estimated 49.5 million people by mid-year as the lean season sets in between harvests. Meanwhile, over 100 million people could face food insecurity if preventive action is not taken. Impacts The lingering impact from recently lifted sanctions against Niger could affect food security. Jihadist control of rural areas will disrupt local food monitoring systems. In part due to its demographic weight, over half of those at risk of food insecurity will likely be in Nigeria. Persistently high inflation will aggravate food insecurity across the region. Losses of development aid by regional military juntas may have negative impacts on livelihoods.
