  • The food supply is average and the majority of the country enjoys good to moderate food security. Flood victims Mayo Kebbi and Moyen Chari and the urban poor face moderate to high food insecurity because of the high prices of food and energy for cooking.
  • Although registered refugees and displaced persons to the east of the country are supported by humanitarian agencies, new incidents of civil insecurity have resulted in moderate and high food insecurity. In the Dar Tama, producer households that were victims of last inter-ethnic conflict have lost most of their crops, and 6000 refugees from the Central African Republic arrived in Central Daha in the past six weeks, 83 percent of whom are women and children.
  • The most likely scenario from April to June 2009 concludes that the majority of the country will be benefit from good to moderate food security. Areas of Kanem, Gaya-Gounou Guereda will be highly food insecure because of poor harvests, conflict, and flooding and the loss of draft animals.
  • In the worst-case scenario, the majority of the country will be highly to severely food insecure. The triggers for this situation include a resumption of military conflict in the east, poor implementation of programs to control prices by the government, and shortages of fodder, animal feed, and drinking water.
