Hunger and MalnutritionExtended Food Insecurity and

Chronic Malnutrition (40%) nationally

CHRONIC VULNERABILITY + EXPOSURE = RECURRENT CRISES

• Soil erosion

• Degradation of natural resources

• Overgrazing

• 99% rain-fed crops

• Poverty (56%)

• HIV (23% prevalence)

• Poor use of food

• Poor technical knowledge at field level to adapt

• Insufficient timely and reliable information
