Key Messages

Market dependent, poor agropastoral households in northern Burkina Faso are experiencing Stressed (IPC Phase 2) acute food insecurity through September. Confronted with a decline in their purchase power due to high staple food prices while their seasonal incomes are limited, they have difficulty in meeting their livelihood protection needs.

Agropastoralists in the same part of the country are experiencing a longer and more difficult lean season than normal due to limited grazing and water resources for their animals. As a result, animals are in a poor physical condition and terms of trade are down.

In the rest of the country, well supplied markets, stable cereal prices, access to wild foods and average to above-average labor revenues offer favorable conditions to allow poor households to experience a typical lean season between June and September.
