Key Messages
With the good progress of the cropping season in June, land preparation, planting, and weeding are continuing normally and providing average income for poor, market-dependent household who are currently meeting their basic food and non-food needs through market purchase.
The upcoming harvest of sweet potato, maize and millet, combined with the ongoing harvest of lowland cassava will maintain household access to staple foods and attenuate the effects of the lean season. Consequently, Minimal (IPC Phase 1) acute food insecurity will be expected through at least September.
