This represents an increase of 8 per cent in comparison to the 1,242 individuals observed on a daily basis between July and September 2020.

Remarkably, Taraba was the only state were IDP numbers decreased compared to Round 34. This was as a result of IDPs moving back to their locations of origin for farming activities.

Despite the lower than normal livestock body conditions, livestock prices are above average, mostly due to poor macroeconomic activities.

Trend analysis: Since the establishment of surveillance in 2016, and the scale up of the nutrition response in North East Nigeria, data from assessments and programmes show acute malnutrition levels have remained persistently high in Yobe  ( above 10% ) , while in Borno the acute malnutrition prevalence tends to vary according to seasonality  ( i.e. high during both the rainy and lean seasons )  and the scale of response  ( influenced by number of partners and access ) . The acute malnutrition prevalence in Adamawa state has remained relatively stable, with little variation over the seasons. Similar trends are expected in the projection period in all areas, compared to historical data used for analysis using the same time period, factoring in the possible impact of the COVID 19 pandemic and the escalation of armed conflict.
