The World Bank Group is set to mobilise immediate response for people threatened by famine in Nigeria and five other countries.
World Bank Group
President, Jim Yong Kim, who made this known in a statement posted on
the organisation's website on Wednesday, said the five other countries
are Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, and Yemen.
The Nigerian
government had earlier denied that there was any prospect of famine
across the country, but indicated the Boko Haram-raved north-eastern
Nigeria could be affected.
Mr. Kim, who noted
that the World bank's first priority was to work with partners to make
sure that families have access to food and water, disclosed that
millions of lives are at risk and will die if nothing is done quickly to
put the crisis under control.
"Famine is a stain
on our collective conscience. Millions of lives are at risk and more
will die if we do not act quickly and decisively," the World Bank boss
noted.
He revealed that
the World Bank is working towards a financial package of more than $1.6
billion to build social protection systems, strengthen community
resilience, and maintain service delivery to the most vulnerable.
This, according to him, includes existing operations of over $870 million that will help communities threatened by famine.
"I am also working
with our Board of Directors to secure the approval of new operations
amounting to $770 million, funded substantially through IDA's Crisis
Response Window," he added.
The World Bank
boss, however, said that the international community must recognise that
famine will have lasting impacts on people's health, ability to learn
and earn a living, adding that the organisation will continue to work
with communities to reclaim their livelihoods and build resilience to
future shocks. "We are coordinating closely with the UN and other partners in all areas of our response," he said.
"We know that
resolution to this acute crisis will not be possible without all
humanitarian and development actors working together.
"We call on the international community to respond robustly and quickly to the UN global appeal for resources for the famine.
"To prevent crises
in the future, we must invest in addressing the root causes and drivers
of fragility today and help countries build institutional and societal
resilience."
In January, a
report by the Famine Early Warning System Network, FEWS NET, an agency
supported by the United States Agency for International Development,
USAID, had said that due to persistent conflict, severe drought and
economic instability, Nigeria and three other countries faced a credible
risk of famine in 2017.
The report had
noted that the Boko Haram crisis continues to contribute to large scale
population displacement, limit market activity, and restrict normal
livelihoods, especially in north-east Nigeria.
The report came two
months after the presidency warned Nigerians of a likelihood of famine
if the excess export of Nigerian grains was not checked.
"Huge demand for
our grains in the global market is creating an excellent environment for
the mindless export of Nigerian food across our borders and unless this
is curtailed, Nigerian markets will be bereft of grains by January next
year," presidential spokesperson Garba Shehu had said in November 2016.
In February, famine hit a part of South Sudan, marking the first announcement of its kind since 2011.
Yemen, northern Nigeria and Somalia are also on the brink of famine, analysts said.
