Top 10 African Countries With the Highest Level of Food Insecurity

The rise in global conflict, climate crisis, and economic shocks have continually driven more nations into a hunger crisis.

The Global Report on Food Crises (GRFC) 2024 says the number of individuals who faced acute food insecurity in 2023 stood at over 281.6 million people across 59 countries/territories with about 158 million residing in Africa.

According to the 2024 Global Report On Food Crises published by the Food Security Information Network (FSIN), three major drivers fuel food insecurity worldwide: conflicts/insecurity, extreme weather and economic shocks.

10 African countries with the highest level of food insecurity

The table below shows 10 African countries that have the highest percentage of residents affected by acute food insecurity and the different drivers in each country:

S/NCountryPopulation Affected% PopulationMajor Driver
1South Sudan7.8M63%Economic Shocks
2Central African Republic2.7M44%Conflict/Insecurity
3Sudan20.3M42%Weather Extremes
4Somalia6.6M39%Weather Extremes
5Kenya5.4M32%Weather Extremes
6Republic of Congo1.9M31%Weather Extremes
7Namibia0.7M26%Weather Extremes
8Congo DRC25.8M25%Conflict/Insecurity
9Zambia2.0M23%Economic Shocks
10Zimbabwe3.5M23%Economic Shocks

Further analysis of the report showed that food insecurity is more prevalent in East Africa (64.2 million) followed by Central and South Africa (49.6 million) then lowest in West Africa (44.3 million).

The report also shows that 24.9 million people are affected by high food insecurity in Nigeria placing it at second position globally – only second to the Democratic Republic of Congo with 25.8 million people affected.

However, Nigeria is not represented in the list as just 13% of the population is affected by food insecurity.

Just like other African countries currently battling internal conflicts, 3.5 million Nigerians have been displaced due to the effects of food insecurity caused mainly by conflicts and insecurity across the country.
