Food Security Bulletin No. 46

This issue covers the period of mid-July to mid-November 2015, the first trimester of Nepalese Fiscal Year 2072/73. The Nepali version of this publication will be released separately.

This bulletin is based on the outcomes of NeKSAP district food security network (DFSN) meetings held in 70 of 75 districts in November 2015 and validated in five regional debriefing meetings in December 2015. During this period the country experienced significant disruptions to cross-border trade with India, political unrest in the eastern Terai, a decrease in summer crop production, and continued earthquake impacts on food security and livelihoods. Due to the Terai unrest, DFSN meetings were not held in Dhanusa, Mahottari, Sarlahi and Rautahat.

In addition, the results of subsequent ad hoc DFSN meetings held in January 2016 in 13 earthquake-affected districts are also included as a supplement to Issue 46. These ad hoc DFSN meetings were held in order to provide an update on the food security situation during the winter lean season period.
