In 2025, Kenya faces a significant challenge with acute food insecurity, with approximately 2.8 million people projected to be in a crisis or worse situation, according to the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC). This includes a substantial number experiencing Emergency conditions, concentrated in arid and semi-arid lands (ASALs).

Code:
Key points about the food insecurity situation in Kenya for 2025:

Worsening situation:
The number of people facing acute food insecurity is projected to increase during the long rainy season.
Poor rains are a major factor:
The recent rainfall deficit has significantly impacted food security in arid and semi-arid regions.
Specific areas affected:
Turkana, Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, and Marsabit are experiencing the most severe food insecurity.
Malnutrition concerns:
The increase in acute food insecurity is also leading to higher levels of malnutrition, particularly among children.

VERSUS
In 2025, Tanzania's food security situation is expected to be mixed. While there is a projected improvement in some areas, particularly due to favorable rainfall and harvests, significant challenges persist, especially for those reliant on agriculture and livestock. The World Food Programme (WFP) continues to support the government in addressing hunger and food insecurity through various programs.

Increased food production:
Tanzania's food production has shown consistent improvement over the past four years, with a 32.9% increase between 2021/2022 and 2023/2024.
High self-sufficiency ratio:
Tanzania's Self Sufficiency Ratio (SSR) has been in the range of 114% to 128% over the past ten years, reaching 128% in 2024/2025, indicating a surplus.
