Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity

T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its

coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases  3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation

is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

AFRICAN PLANS FOR A TRANS-CONTINENTAL ROAD NETWORK

In 2010, the trans-African master plan consisted of ten highways totalling a length

of 57 300 km, from Cairo to Cape Town and from Dakar to Djibouti. The density of this ideal network, equivalent to 1.9 km of road per 1 000 km2 is four times lower than that of the current American interstate highway network. In West Africa, the envisaged highways would link Dakar to N’Djaména via the Sahelian belt, Dakar to Lagos via the Gulf of Guinea and Lagos to the Central African Republic via Yaoundé in Cameroon. There are plans for three major trans-Saharan routes: one to link

Mauritania to North Africa via the Moroccan coast, the second to connect Algiers to Nigeria via Agades and the third to link Tripoli with Chad via Fezzan. The maintenance done on existing road networks and progress on the trunks to be built varies significantly from country to country. While some missing links have been completed, for example, between Nouadhibou and Nouakchott and between Kayes and Bamako, other road segments have not yet been paved or are unlikely to be completed in the near future due to political instability, as is the case in southern Libya.

West African Papers

Accessibility and Infrastructure in Border Cities

This note, part of the “Cities” collection, analyses road accessibility, transport corridors and checkpoints set up in border towns in West Africa. An innovative model shows that the population base of border towns could be 14% greater if there were no delays at border crossings. The existence of roadside checks decreases the size of this population base from 12 to 50%. A study of 59 jointly planned or operated border posts in sub-Saharan Africa shows that trade facilitation runs up against the special interests of public servants and private-sector actors making a living from regional integration frictions.

PLANS AFRICAINS DU RÉSEAU DES ROUTES TRANSCONTINENTALES

En 2010, le plan directeur transafricain comprend une dizaine d’autoroutes

totalisant 57 300 km, du Caire au Cap et de Dakar à Djibouti. La densité de ce réseau idéal, équivalente à 1.89 km de route pour 1 000 km² est quatre fois inférieure à celle du réseau actuel des autoroutes inter-États américaines. En Afrique de l’Ouest, les autoroutes envisagées relient Dakar à N’Djaména par la bande sahélienne, Dakar à Lagos par le golfe de Guinée et Lagos à la Centrafrique par Yaoundé au Cameroun. Trois grands axes transsahariens sont prévus, l’un reliant la Mauritanie à l’Afrique du Nord

par la côte marocaine, le second reliant Alger au Nigéria par Agadez et le dernier joignant Tripoli au Tchad par le Fezzan. Les conditions d’entretien des routes existantes du réseau ainsi que l’état d’avancement des travaux des tronçons à construire varient fortement suivant les États. Si certains chaînons manquants sont achevés, comme entre Nouadhibou et Nouakchott ou entre Kayes et Bamako, d’autres segments routiers ne sont pas encore bitumés ou ne seront probablement jamais réalisés dans un avenir proche du fait de l’instabilité politique, comme dans le sud de la Libye.

Notes ouest-africaines

Accessibilité et infrastructures des villes frontalières

Cette Note qui fait partie de la Collection « Villes », analyse l’accessibilité routière, les corridors de transport et les postes de contrôle uniques mis en place dans les villes frontalières d’Afrique de l’Ouest. Un modèle inédit montre que le bassin de population des villes frontalières pourrait être 14 % plus important sans attente aux frontières. L’existence de contrôles routiers diminue de 12 à 50 % ce bassin de population. Une étude des 59 postes de contrôle d’Afrique subsaharienne montre ensuite que la facilitation du commerce se heurte aux intérêts des fonctionnaires et des acteurs privés vivant des frictions de l’intégration régionale.
