KEY DRIVERS OF THE CRISIS
Recurrent shocks (droughts and floods), poor infrastructure and inadequate social safety nets continue to increase the overall, chronic vulnerability and to erode resilience of households and communities, many of which adopt poor coping strategies.
Decrease in cereal production by 17% and resulting high food prices.
Flooding affects some 300,000 people every year, causing significant damage to crops and property.
