Food security

This book is about food security on the Horn of Africa. The Horn of Africa includes Djibouti, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Uganda, and Kenya. Climate change, conflict, rising food prices and the COVID-19 pandemic have compounded one of the worst droughts in the region in recent decades, according to the WHO appeal. "There are now four seasons where the rain didn't come as predicted and a fifth season is estimated to also fail. Places where there is drought the problem keeps worsening and worsening," said WHO Incident Manager Sophie Maes. "In other places like South Sudan, there have been three years of consecutive flooding with almost 40 per cent of the country being flooded. And we are looking at something that is going to get worse in the near future."
