Namibia – Food insecurity (DG ECHO, Integrated Food Security Phase Classification)

• According to the latest Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) published on 6 September, between July and September 2024, around 1.15 million people in Namibia (almost 40% of the total population) are experiencing high food insecurity with all 14 regions in IPC3+.
• The food security situation is expected to worsen between October 2024 and March 2025, due to the start of the lean season and seasonal price increases. It is projected that 1.26 million people (41%) will be in IPC3+, with 9 regions out of 14 estimated to be in IPC4+. The most affected regions are Khomas, Ohangwena, Kavango West, Kunene, and Kavango East.
• The potential influence of La Niña could improve food security during the second projection period, however, flooding leading to waterborne diseases and displacements may also occur.
• DG ECHO has allocated EUR 200,000 to contribute to the Disaster Response Emergency Fund of the International Federation of the Red Cross to assist drought affected people in the country.

Democratic Republic of Congo – Acute malnutrition analysis ( DG ECHO, IPC Acute Malnutrition)

• The latest data shows that approximately 4.45 million children under five and over 3.71 million pregnant and breastfeeding women in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) are facing or expected to face elevated levels of acute malnutrition between July 2024 and June 2025 — conditions expected to worsen through the first half of 2025. This includes over 1.39 million children at risk of severe malnutrition, requiring immediate and appropriate intervention.
• The contributing factors vary but in zones classified as serious or critical the primary causes include poor-quality diets due to inadequate infant and young child feeding (IYCF) practices, acute food insecurity, a high prevalence of childhood diseases (such as malaria, respiratory infections, and diarrheal diseases), and outbreaks of epidemics (including measles, cholera, and current mpox). 
• Additionally, poor hygiene conditions, limited access to adequate sanitation facilities, very low access to safe drinking water, and the negative effects of insecurity which trigger large-scale population displacements, further exacerbate the situation. Urgent and targeted actions are now essential to address this critical nutritional crisis.
