Guinea - Special mVAM Bulletin #6: Despite the harvest, food insecurity persists in Forest Guinea, November 2014
Households in the Forest Guinea and in Conakry are resorting more frequently to negative coping strategies. The coping strategy index remains high in Nzerekore and Conakry, the areas most affected by the Ebola virus disease (EVD).
Despite the harvest season, the level of coping strategies used by households has not decreased since October. In Upper Guinea, the spread of EVD in the region and its impact on employment in artisanal mining may explain this phenomenon.
In most areas, local rice prices have fallen as the harvest has increased food availability in markets. Imported rice prices remain stable compared to October. While the terms of trade of daily casual labourers have improved, they still remain low in Forest Guinea.
