Poor rainfall in Mauritania will lead to Crisis food insecurity in February/March

Summary

Poor rainfall during the June to October season in south-central Mauritania (Figure 1) will result in significantly below-average main and off-season harvests, reduced seasonal labor incomes, and reduced income from livestock sales. In February/March, more than 300,000 poor households in affected areas of the Senegal River Valley and Agro-pastoral Zones will begin to face food consumption gaps. Without additional, well-targeted emergency assistance, more than 600,000 households could face Crisis (IPC Phase 3) acute food insecurity by June. An Emergency (IPC Phase 4) is possible by September 2015 in the absence of emergency response.
