The results of the analysis indicate that 9.2 million people  ( 9.3% of the analysed population )  require urgent assistance in the current period  ( March to May, 2021 ) . During the projected period  ( June to August 2021 ) , these figures may increase to 12.8 million people  ( 11.9% of the overall population analysed )  unless conscious efforts are made to provide strategic resiliencefocused interventions as well as humanitarian assistance in areas where necessary.
There is improvement in food consumption across most of the States, except for some LGAs in Adamawa, Borno and Yobe  ( NE )  and Kaduna, Katsina, Sokoto, Zamfara  ( NW )  and Niger which experienced crisis food consumption status in the current period  ( March to May, 2021 ) . In the projected period  ( June to August, 2021 )  food consumption is expected to slightly worsen due to possible reduction in household and market stocks and its attendant rise in food prices.

Nutrition situation in some LGAs of Yobe and Borno shows deteriorating levels as evident in the critical phase.

Staple food and cash crops production increased marginally in 2019/2020 compared to five year averages across the states. Some states experienced a below average increase in crops output due to farmers/herders conflicts and COVID 19 lockdown which restricted households' access to farmlands and other inputs. In the three north east states highly affected by the insurgency  ( Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States ) , about 50%, 73% and 76% of households were involved in the 2019/2020 wet cropping season respectively.Results of satellite imagery analysis obtained as at Feb, 2021 showed slight increases in cropped land in 2020 across most of the inaccessible areas of three states of the north east compared to 2019 but severe decrease for the north west states  ( Katsina, Kebbi, Sokoto and Zamfara ) .
[ 30th Mar, 2021, North East, Nigeria ]  According to the Nigeria Humanitarian Needs Overview 2020, GBV, including sexual violence, is widespread in the region, in part due to the ongoing conflict, insecurity, and living conditions in camps for IDPs and informal settlements and host communities.

Currently, unfavorable access to food is reported by households across most of the States and the FCT due to high food prices. For most commodities, prices rose by as high as 100%. This was aggravated by the COVID 19 lockdown which crippled inter  and cross border trading activities, and by extension, the livelihood and income generating activities of most households. This is further reflected in the consumer price index  ( CPI )  which increased to 16.47% in January, 2021 compared to 15.75% in December, 2020. Food index also rose to 20.57% in January, 2021 as against 19.56% in December, 2020. Food access in inaccessible areas of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe is even more critical due to limited access to functional markets, with consequential constraint to economic access to markets in places where such exists. During the projected period, households in inaccessible areas as well as those displaced from their natural localities may experience serious constraints accessing foods due to low purchasing power, limited access to markets and high food prices due to reduced trade flows.
In the current period, stable market and household food stocks was reported across the states compared to 5 year average. Price variation for staple food and cash crops ranged from 4.3% and 23.3% in Kano to 121% and 125% in Benue and Niger States, respectively when compared to the past 5 year average. In the projected period, households' food stock may deplete in most of the states and the FCT, but this is expected to be worse among the most vulnerable households in Borno, Adamawa and Yobe  ( in the north east )  and Katsina, Sokoto and Zamfara  ( north west ) . Market stock level may remain lower than usual even with early fresh harvest. Sustained interventions from the government and humanitarian agencies could curb the projected critical food stock situation and booster food stability during the projected period

The number of unaccompanied children and child headed households also continues to rise as hostilities perdure. The influx of IDPs into host communities and informal settlements has triggered additional pressure on meagre services and competition over limited resources particularly land assets, fomenting tensions that threaten pre crisis communal ties.
Inaccessible Population in Completely Inaccessible or Partially Inaccessible LGAs of Borno, Adamawa and Yobe States: Of the 1,547,379 people in acute food insecurity situation, and need of emergency assistance during the current period in Borno State, 658,252  ( 42.5% )  are situated in completely or partially inaccessible communities where humanitarian agencies lack access.
