Crisis levels of food insecurity in the CAR

  • An analysis of acute food insecurity for the month of April shows a deterioration in outcomes compared with the first quarter of the year due to poor food availability, difficulties ensuring market supplies, and disruptions to basic social services. Households in the central, northern, and eastern areas of the country will be in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) until the upcoming September harvests.
  • Southern and western areas of the country saw an escalation in civil insecurity in March, along with population displacements, looting, and atypical food price increases.

As a result, poor households in southern and western areas will face Stressed (IPC Phase 2) acute food insecurity between now and September.
