WHY THE SAHEL IS AT RISK OF A NEW FOOD CRISIS

Poor harvests, reduction of grazing land: once more, the Sahel is threatened by a food crisis. Though the region faces recurrent droughts – on average once every 4 to 5 years – the current situation is particularly worrisome due to the vulnerability of the populations who have not yet recovered from the 2009-2010 drought, which affected 10 million people. Action against hunger has launched a regional prevention plan. It is time to take action to prevent a catastrophe.

The rest of the emergency programmes are being set up in order to benefit approximately 23,000 people. The floods have badly affected already poor communities
