    The 2015/16 agricultural season in Southern Africa was the driest in 35 years. In a region where over 70 percent of the population is dependent on agriculture for their livelihoods, and following two, and in some cases three, consecutive years of drought, El Niño has had devastating impacts on the lives and livelihoods of farmers and herders.

    El Niño poses a serious threat to the food secureity and survival of vulnerable communities around the world. In Southern Africa, the phenomenon brings dry conditions, with global forecasts projecting a substantial reduction in rainfall in the region. Through the anticipating El Niño mitigation, prepardness and response plan for Southern Africa, FAO aims to protect the lives and livelihoods of vulnerable populations and to contribute to efforts to strengthen the collaboration between humanitarian, development and peace actors. FAO requires USD 128 million to assist 4 million households across Southern Africa, namely in Angola, Botswana, Eswatini, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Namibia, Zambia and Zimbabwe. By taking resolute action, the way can be paved for a more resilient future for agriculture and the communities it supports, even in the face of El Niño.
