Southern Africa Humanitarian Outlook 2015-2016 by PDF Summary

Book Description: Abnormal rainfall patterns during 2014/2015 have contributed to a spike in food insecurity, which is currently affecting at least 27.4 m people regionally. Serious concerns are mounting that Southern Africa will this coming season face another poor harvest, possibly a disastrous one: a strong El Niño is expected, with some authorities predicting the strongest ever recorded. For Southern Africa, El Niño usually means less rain, and this will likely impact the same countries that are already struggling through a season of drought, including Angola, Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia and Zimbabwe. We are already seeing the impacts of El Niño, with poor rainfall being observed across the region (in some areas less than 25 per cent of the average), and South Africa declaring drought emergencies in five provinces. The economic impact will be severe. The region is ill prepared. Only half of countries have updated contingency plans, while the rest have outdated plans or none at all. Countries need to update and finalize their plans as a matter of priority, and these plans need to expand on likely humanitarian scenarios and resource available and required. Many countries require financial and technical assistance from the humanitarian community to prepare and start responding.
