Malawi |
Based on the results of its post-harvest food security assessment, the Malawi Vulnerability Assessment Committee projected that in the April 2012 to March 2013 consumption period, 1,63 million people in 15 mainly southern districts will be unable to adequately access food in order to meet their basic needs. Southern Malawi has faced several consecutive years of poor harvests as a result of weather-related shocks, especially dry spells. In addition, the devaluation and depreciation of the local currency in May 2012 has significantly lowered consumer purchasing power as prices of basic commodities and staple food continue to rise. On 14 Aug 2012, the Government of Malawi sent a final food security response plan with an appeal of $89 million to the UN Resident Coordinator. |

Food price and other cost of living increases are intensifying the impact of the poor harvest. Preliminary Lesotho Vulnerability Assessment Committee (LVAC) results indicated that 725,000 people were food insecure. The government declared a food crisis situation on 9 Aug 2012 and called on development partners to assist. |
