Kenya |
Following the post-election violence in January and February 2008, Kenya is facing a number of challenges in ensuring food security for the vulnerable populations in the country. Crop production in 2008 is expected to be below average, primarily due to impact of post-election violence. Low food supplies and high food prices already prevail. In addition, displaced persons have not yet been fully resettled and remain food insecure.
Although rainfall has been near normal for the April-June season for most parts of the country there are exceptions resulting in pockets of extreme drought following poor November rains |

The situation in Zimbabwe which was the bread basket of Southern Africa has deteriorated; humanitarian situation in the country is compromised at the expense of all citizens. The country has been facing serious socio-economic decline compounded by the almost two-month stalemate after the 29 March 2008 harmonised elections. The declining situation has once again resulted in poor agricultural production and reduced manufacturing capacity. The shortage of basic food commodities and unpredictable rainfall patterns has threatened the food security of millions of people in the country. |
