Key takeaway El Niño-related shocks and a delayed rainy season onset are likely to further limit household food access.
Food access is under threat due to rising prices and an early lean season. Poor households have exhausted their food stocks earlier than usual, by July, following below-average harvests. These households are now relying on markets to meet their basic food needs, using income from casual labor and sales of charcoal and firewood.
The situation is expected to worsen from October through January, with Crisis-aligned outcomes anticipated. El Niño-related shocks and a delayed rainy season onset are likely to further limit household food access. Further details on the situation and its expected impact are available from the source.
