With the onset of the lean season, the consistent improvements in coping seen over the last five months came to a halt in Liberia and Sierra Leone. Overall, negative coping levels were higher in Guinea than in Liberia or Sierra Leone. In Liberia, negative coping was most severe in the South East and in Bong County. In Guinea, the most severe coping levels were reported in Nzerekore region. In Liberia and Sierra Leone, heavy seasonal rains were deteriorating road access.  Food prices remained generally stable in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Thanks to an improvement in manual labor rates, wage-to-rice terms of trade rose in Liberia and parts of Sierra Leone.
