Food Security Framework | Underlying Factors

  • Successive seasons of poor rains and seasonal flood affected crop and livestock production, which are the two main livelihood sources for the majority of the rural population.
  • Recurrent conflict and civil insecurity, which have resulted in civilian displacement and restriction of internal and cross border trade flow.
  • Chronic macroeconomic shocks, such as the persistent ban of livestock export and lack of employment opportunities, affected investment in productive sectors like crop and livestock.
