41 million in west and central Africa at risk of food insecurity
With more than 41 million people aat risk during the lean season this year, Food insecurity situation is becoming alarming in West and Central Africa.
This is according to the World Bank which also estimates in a new report published on 12 April, that 29 million people are currently dependent on emergency food aid
The financial institution blamed the high incidence of malnutrition in the region on fragility and conflict, high levels of poverty, accelerating climate change, low agricultural productivity, and environmental degradation.
The latest warning on food insecurity is also echoed by the the United Nations food agency the World Food Programme (WFP) which estimates its figures as many as 48 million people across western and central Africa as efforts to contain inflation contribute to food shortages.

UN and other international bodies should come up with ways to save Africa from food security. I suggest in as much Africa needs funding, we should do better on matters policies and planning.

Hi, I'm slightly confused about how the African Union is getting a climate warning. Can you explain? Are they worsening the food insecurity situation? Is there a way that the African Union could help alleviate the situation? If so, I think writing a climate idea to the African Union and explaining how African Union could help would make for a great post!
