Highlights

Approximately 2.1 million people in the Grand Sud and Grand Sud-Est will likely experience Crisis—IPC 3—levels of acute food insecurity between December 2022 and March 2023, according to an IPC analysis. Sustained levels of humanitarian assistance are required to prevent Emergency—IPC 4—levels of acute food insecurity in some areas during the annual November-to-March lean season.

Climatic shocks, decreased livelihood opportunities, and food insecurity conditions increase protection risks in the Grand Sud and Grand Sud-Est.

The UN issued a revised flash appeal for southern Madagascar in June, requesting resources to provide humanitarian assistance to 1.9 million drought- and cyclone-affected people through December.
