Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

1 West African tool to analyse and identify areas and amount of people at risk of food and nutrition insecurity.

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

CORRUPTION REMAINS A KEY CHALLENGE FOR WEST AFRICA

The 2016 Corruption Perceptions Index, published by Transparency

International, draws a disturbing picture of the perceived level of corruption in West Africa. Admittedly, the region has an average score that is slightly more positive (score 31.7) than that of sub-Saharan Africa as a whole (score  31). It also includes Cabo Verde, which is second on the list of best-rated African countries after Botswana. But in general, the situation is worrying. Of the 17 West African countries (including Chad and Mauritania), 13  rank in the bottom half of the table, and six of them in the last quarter. Seven countries regressed in the ranking compared to 2015, some dramatically. This is

the case of Mauritania, which went down 30 places. This is also the case in Ghana, which is considered to be one of the most stable countries on the continent, but lost 16  places in the ranking. Corruption was at the heart of the debate during the last presidential election. The Gambia also lost 22 positions in the ranking. However, the report does not yet take into account the fi nal outcome of the presidential election crisis in January  2017. Apart from Cabo Verde, only Burkina Faso recorded a simultaneous improvement in its score and ranking – by four points and four places since 2015. This performance is encouraging for the country’s on-going democratic transition.

LA CORRUPTION RESTE UN DÉFI MAJEUR EN AFRIQUE DE L’OUEST

Le rapport 2016 de l’Indice de perception de la corruption, publié

par Transparency International, dresse un bilan inquiétant du niveau perçu de corruption en Afrique de l’Ouest. Certes, la région enregistre un score moyen légèrement supérieur (score 31.7) à celui de l’Afrique subsaharienne dans son ensemble (score 31), et elle abrite, avec le Cabo Verde, le deuxième pays africain le mieux noté après le Botswana. Mais d’une manière générale, la situation est plutôt préoccupante. Treize des 17 pays ouest-africains (Mauritanie et Tchad inclus) apparaissent dans la deuxième moitié du tableau, et six d’entre eux dans le dernier quart. Sept pays de la région ont régressé dans le classement par rapport à 2015, parfois de manière

spectaculaire. C’est le cas par exemple de la Mauritanie, qui a perdu 30 places. C’est le cas également du Ghana, pourtant considéré comme l’un des pays les plus stables du continent, qui a cependant perdu 16 places. Le problème de la corruption a été au cœur de la dernière élection présidentielle. La Gambie perd 22 places dans le classement, mais le rapport ne prend pas encore en compte le dénouement fi nal de l’élection présidentielle en janvier 2017. Hormis le Cabo Verde, seul le Burkina Faso a enregistré une amélioration simultanée de son score et de son classement, progressant de quatre points et de quatre places par rapport à 2015. Cette performance est encourageante pour la transition démocratique en cours dans le pays.
