• In Mali, final results from the National Survey on Food and Nutrition Security (ENSAN) show a general improvement on the previous year, with an increase from 25 percent food secure households in September 2014 to 40 percent in September 2015. However, in the north one household in three remains food insecure. Results from the Cadre Harmonisé (CH) held in November 2015 confirmed the above, projecting the food insecure population at 2.4 million people for 2016, of which 315,000 are considered severely food insecure.
