		The worst affected provinces are Bujumbura Rural with 58 percent of its population displaced, followed by Bubanza with 39 percent, Makamba with 33 percent and Bururi with 21 percent.
		The severe disruptions to agriculture brought about by displacement/regroupment and other population movements have had and continue to have a strong adverse impact on rural livelihoods and it is estimated that, should peace be established, it would take several years to restore the agricultural sector to pre-crisis levels.
		In Bujumbura Rural, the limited of access to fields, loss of crops due to looting, insufficient pipeline, low vaccination coverage and outbreaks of disease have resulted in rising rates of malnutrition.
