Food insecurity in West Africa is at a critical juncture, with over 34.4 million people facing a severe food crisis. Agriculture and livestock, which contribute 40% of the region’s GDP, are under threat from three major shocks. First, rising conflict and insecurity have displaced over 12 million people, putting strain on emergency food systems. In addition, economic disruptions such as high inflation (up to 50%), trade barriers, and rising agricultural input costs are crippling livelihoods. Lastly, extreme weather events are having a devastating effect, with erratic rainfall and droughts impacting the 80% of the population living in arid or semi-arid areas.
