Perspectives sur la sécurité alimentaire Octobre 2025 - Mai 2026 L’insécurité alimentaire de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) est concentrée dans les foyers de tensions sécuritaires Download the report
  • D’octobre 2025 à mai 2026 dans les régions de Tillabéry, de Diffa et dans le nord-ouest de Tahoua, des résultats de Crise (Phase 3 de l’IPC) seront observés suite aux conflits et à l’insécurité. Les attaques des groupes terroristes continuent de forcer les populations à se déplacer, abandonnant leurs sources de nourriture et de revenus, notamment les champs de cultures, les animaux et autres activités de moyens d’existence. Des faibles proportions de populations font face à l’Urgence (Phase 4 de l’IPC), notamment les ménages pauvres affectés par les inondations et l’insécurité.
  • Le nombre de personnes en besoin d’assistance alimentaire devraient diminuer de manière saisonnière d’octobre jusqu’à la période post-récolte, tout en restant supérieur à la moyenne. Les besoins augmenteront dès février avec l’épuisement des stocks, atteignant un pic en mai avant la soudure agricole.  La population la plus préoccupante est constituée par des ménages pauvres et très pauvres des zones d’insécurité, les déplacées et les victimes des inondations.
  • Des résultats de Minimale (Phase 1 de l’IPC) seront observés dans le reste des zones entre octobre 2025 et janvier 2026, grâce aux récoltes estimées similaire à la moyenne quinquennale et aux stocks de l’année précédente, maintenant les tendances baissières des prix et améliorant l’accès des ménages agricoles et agropastorales à la nourriture et aux revenus. Les ménages pastoraux bénéficient aussi de bonnes conditions alimentaires grâce à la production laitière et à la valeur marchande du bétail.
  • Entre février et mai 2026, des résultats de Stress (Phase 2 de l’IPC) seront généralisés. Les stocks alimentaires vont s’épuiser tout comme les ressources pastorales et le pouvoir d’achat sera réduit au strict minimum d’aliments compte tenu du niveau élevé des prix sur les marchés.

L’analyse présentée ici est basée sur les informations disponibles au 22 octobre 2025.

Food Security Outlook October 2025 - May 2026 Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes concentrated in insecure areas Download the report
  • From October 2025 to May 2026 in the regions of Tillabéry, Diffa, and in northwestern Tahoua, Crisis (IPC Phase 3) outcomes will be observed due to conflict and insecurity. Attacks by terrorist groups continue to force populations to move, abandoning their sources of food and income, including fields of crops, animals, and other livelihood activities. Small proportions of populations face Emergency (IPC Phase 4) outcomes, particularly poor households affected by flooding and insecurity.
  • The number of people in need of food assistance is expected to decrease seasonally from October through the post-harvest period, while remaining above average. Needs will increase starting in February with the depletion of stocks, reaching a peak in May before the agricultural lean season. The population of greatest concern consists of poor and very poor households in insecure areas, displaced persons and flood victims.
  • Minimal (IPC Phase 1) outcomes will be observed in the remaining areas between October 2025 and January 2026, due to harvests near the five-year average and stocks from the previous year, which will maintain downward price trends and improve food and income access for agricultural and agropastoral households. Pastoral households also benefit from good food conditions given milk production and the market value of livestock.
  • Between February and May 2026, Stressed (IPC Phase 2) outcomes will be widespread. Food stocks will be depleted, as will pastoral resources, and purchasing power will be reduced to the bare minimum of food given high prices in markets.

The analysis in this report is based on information available as of October 22, 2025.
