- Significant improvements in food security have been noted since the start of harvests in October 2012 in most countries in East Africa. Despite the improvements, an estimated 14.9 million people in Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Ethiopia, Kenya, Djibouti, Uganda, Burundi, Tanzania, and Rwanda continue to face Stressed (IPC Phase 2) to Crisis (IPC Phase 3) levels of food insecurity.
- October to December rains have been well above normal over surplus-producing cropping areas in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Tanzania, and western Kenya while some localized areas faced significant cumulative rainfall deficits, including parts of the southeastern lowlands, the Northeast, and the southern coastal marginal agricultural areas in Kenya, southern parts of Somali, Oromia, and Southern Nations, Nationalities, and Peoples’ Region (SNNPR) in Ethiopia, neighboring agropastoral areas in southern Somalia, and the northern coastal lowlands in Tanzania
