Eight million pEoplE in northErn nigEria facing acutE food insEcurity
T he October 2016 analysis of the Cadre harmonisé1 expands its
coverage to include for the first time 16 out of 36 states, almost half of Nigeria. In these states, some eight million people are currently facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5, October-December 2016). Due to the Boko Haram insurgency and massive population displacement, the three northeastern states, Adamawa, Borno and Yobe, have

reached extremely high levels of food insecurity (Maps & Facts no 44). While humanitarian access is improving, the situation remains particularly worrisome in the state of Borno, where nearly 60% of the population (3.3 million people) are still facing acute food insecurity (phases 3-5), including 55 000 people threatened by famine (phase 5). If no appro-priate measures are being taken, the current food and nutrition situation
is likely to get worse during the next lean season in June-August 2017. By then, the Cadre harmonisé projec-tions indicate that the number of severely food insecure people in the 16 analysed states could reach 8 to 10 million people. Analytical tools, data collection methods and training for local administrations need to be further developed in order to fine-tune and expand the analysis of the Cadre harmonisé to all parts of Nigeria.

The employment rate of women in sub-Saharan Africa (59.3%, ILO,
2017) is the highest in the world (45.8%). However, a large majority of African women work in the informal sector, mostly in low-paying jobs. Ten West African countries have more than eight legal provisions restricting women’s ability to obtain jobs in the same way as men; for example, restricting access to certain professions. Moreover, deep-rooted perceptions, gender stereotypes, discriminatory attitudes and customary practices towards women are persistent. About 17% of West African men think that it is unacceptable for women to work outside the home, and 21% would
prefer that the women in their families stay home rather than work paid jobs. In Nigeria’s private sector, many employers force young women to sign job contracts stipulating that they not become pregnant for the first three years of their contract. Some governments are taking measures to empower women in the workplace. Côte d’Ivoire, Mali and Sierra Leone have passed laws on equal remuneration for the same work. In 2017, the region adopted a series of recommendations to update the “Supplementary Act relating to Equality of Rights between Men and Women for Sustainable Development in the ECOWAS Region.”

DES STÉRÉOTYPES EnTRavEnT l’accèS DES fEMMES à l’EMPlOI
Le taux d’emploi des femmes en Afrique subsaharienne (59.3 %,
ILO en 2017) est le plus élevé au monde (45.8 %). Cependant, la grande majorité des femmes travaille dans l’économie informelle, avec des emplois peu rémunérés. Dix pays ouest-africains ont plus de huit dispositions légales restreignant la capacité des femmes à obtenir un emploi au même titre qu’un homme ; par exemple, l’accès limité à certaines professions. Des percep-tions profondément stéréotypées, des attitudes discriminatoires et pratiques coutumières perdurent. 17 % des hommes ouest-africains pensent qu’il est inacceptable qu’une femme travaille hors de la maison ; 21 % préféreraient que les femmes de leur famille restent
à la maison plutôt que d’occuper un emploi rémunéré. Dans le secteur privé nigérian, de nombreux employeurs forcent les jeunes femmes à signer des contrats de travail stipulant qu’elles ne doivent pas tomber enceintes pendant les trois premières années de leur contrat. Certains gouvernements renforcent leur engagement en faveur de l’égalité sur le lieu de travail. La Côte d’Ivoire, le Mali et la Sierra Leone ont adopté des lois instituant l’égalité de rémunération pour un même travail. En 2017, la région a approuvé une série de recommandations pour actualiser l’ « Acte additionnel sur l’égalité des droits entre les femmes et les hommes pour le développement durable dans l’espace de la CEDEAO ».
