Average to good harvests, with slight delays
KEY MESSAGES
• In line with seasonal trends, acute food insecurity is at its lowest level of the year.
• Though delayed by a few weeks in certain surplus-production areas, in general, July-December harvests are expected to be average to good.
• In Vakaga, the Ouandja River broke its banks in August, causing damage to rainfed crops along the river. More information is needed to understand the food security impacts.
• The seasonal upsurge in civil insecurity poses both a current and a potential future threat to livelihoods (IPC 2.0 Phase 2), particularly in the southeast due to the presence of the Lord's Resistance Army (LRA).
