Key takeaway From November 2026 to January 2027, Crisis (IPC Phase 3)-aligned outcomes are expected across agropastoral areas.
Why this matters
The anticipated El Niño-induced dryness in Angola's southern areas threatens to exacerbate food insecurity, particularly among poor agropastoral households. With a below-average national cereal harvest, these households will deplete their food stocks earlier than usual, relying on market purchases and self-employment to access food. The decline in livestock-to-maize terms of trade and elevated prices will further erode their purchasing power, leading to food consumption deficits. The situation is especially dire for households without livestock, which will face severe food insecurity. The projected increase in the population in need, reaching 1.0-1.49 million people between November 2026 and January 2027, highlights the urgency of the situation. Faith-based organizations and humanitarian groups, including ECFA-accredited nonprofits, may need to ramp up their disaster relief efforts to support affected communities, particularly in southern agropastoral areas where food insecurity is expected to intensify.
