Poor rains and extended drought over multiple seasons have had a major impact on rural livelihoods and food security in Somalia, pushing the country to the brink of famine in 2017.
However, large-scale catastrophe was averted in Somalia, thanks to scaled-up humanitarian response with generous contributions from donors and a modest improvement in the October to December 2017 Deyr season rainfall. The April to June 2018 Gu rains are forecasted to be below-average, and if this dim forecast happens, it will mark the fifth consecutive below average seasons in Somalia that could force millions of Somali people into further destitution.
You are invited to the launch of the 2017/2018 Post Deyr Technical Release by the Food Security, Nutrition Analysis Unit (FSNAU) and the Famine Early Warning Systems Network (FEWS NET) on the date, time and venue indicated above.
