Hunger and MalnutritionExtended Food Insecurity and
Chronic Malnutrition (40%) nationally
CHRONIC VULNERABILITY + EXPOSURE = RECURRENT CRISES
• Soil erosion
• Degradation of natural resources
• Overgrazing
• 99% rain-fed crops
• Poverty (56%)
• HIV (23% prevalence)
• Poor use of food
• Poor technical knowledge at field level to adapt
• Insufficient timely and reliable information
