Climate resilience lies in water conservation effort
The rains are here, finally. What relief! Nothing comes close to the unspeakable horrors populations in most of the Horn of Africa have endured in the past few years as the longest and acutest drought in a generation raged.
From Kajiado in Kenya to Hargeisa in Somalia, Oromia in Ethiopia and Uganda’s Karenga District, the devastation has been emphatic and irreversible.
The drought left millions of dead livestock, dehumanising poverty and damaging hopes in its wake. Some communities in the region will take years to restore their stock. Others will never recover.
