Projected poverty population in November 2024 in FEWS NET monitored countries:
120 million to 130 million
11% of the population
The total humanitarian food assistance needs in the countries monitored by FEWS NET in November 2024 are projected to be:
Exceeds needs by November 2023
higher than the average of the past 5 years
This brief summarizes FEWS NET's projections of the population in need of emergency food assistance and the severity of severe food insecurity expected seven months from now in the countries monitored by FEWS NET. Compares the projected size of each country's population experiencing severe food insecurity (IPC Phase 3 and above) to the last year and the average of the last five years, and categorizes it as 'high', 'same', or 'low' . Additional information will be provided for countries with large food insecure populations, where the severity is expected to be high, or where other important issues require further clarification. The analysis is less reliable in countries where FEWS NET is remotely monitored and is indicated by “RM”. For detailed country reports, please visit www.fews.net.
FEWS NET calculates total Emergency Humanitarian Food Assistance PINs for people facing severe acute food insecurity in Crisis (IPC Phase 3) or worse, regardless of whether they are receiving assistance, and those in IPC Phase. It is defined as the total number of people at the bottom. Without humanitarian food assistance, the situation is at crisis (IPC phase 3) or worse. IPC follows a different approach to estimate her PIN. You can read more about this here.
