16. Pastoral situation
• Fodder resources good overall except in many areas in Mali and Burkina, but bush fires are
particularly intense in Senegal and Mali;
• Animal body condition is generally satisfactory to average except in Mali (fair to poor)
• The Security situation remains worrying in several regions of Burkina Faso, Mali and Niger, with
targeted attacks, especially at the Mali
• Early and massive transhumance departures reported in Mauritania leading to high
concentrations in southern Senegal and Mauritania;
• The animal health situation is relatively calm in the region (Mauritania, PPR, botulism, etc)
Sahel region
continues to
benefit from
positive
2020 rainy
season

17. Nutritional situation
Acute malnutrition remains a concern in several areas
in the Sahel countries and worse in areas exacerbated
by security issues.
The situation is not good for children and pregnant
and lactating women among IDPs.
The prevalence of SAM remains at very high levels
(>2%) even if it is stable at the national level, but very
disparate across the country.
The prevalence of acute malnutrition is likely to be
higher during the lean season.
Many aggravating factors:
• The food situation is deteriorating according to
the CH results in many areas affected by civil
insecurity;
• The impact of IDPs;
• Poor access to adequate food and energy in the Sahel
• Feeding practices for children under 5 are not optimal.
• Access to basic social services remains low and disrupted
by civil insecurity;
• Access to drinking water, hygiene and sanitation services
remains low;

24. Recommendations
To Countries:
Quickly launch calls for tender for institutional purchases to
reconstitute national stocks in time to avoid impacting on the
functioning of markets;
Improve security on the main supply routes and markets to ensure the
smooth flow of trade and facilitate the movement of people and goods;
Facilitate access to credit for cereal and livestock wholesalers to
finance their activities;
Continue the fight against the collection of illicit taxes on the roads
which contribute to increasing the prices of foodstuffs and livestock on the
markets;
Ensure the availability of livestock feed at affordable costs in pastoral
areas where access to grazing areas is made difficult by insecurity and in
the western Sahel.;

25. Recommendations
To CILSS and partners:
• Work to reduce considerably the number of harassment
• Advocate for the official opening of borders between countries in the region
• Clearly specify the conditions of mobility of traders between countries
• Take appropriate measures to guarantee minimum prices for cash crops
To improve the situationnal status
• Strengthen and expand social protection programmes to the poorest
and most affected households in the Hotspot zones;
• Strengthen the nutrition surveillance system to generate evidence and
guide emergency preparedness and response.

26. Many thanks for your attention!
