The Horn of Africa is one of the most drought-prone regions in the world. Frequent and prolonged dry spells have deepened food insecurity, degraded ecosystems, and threatened the livelihoods of millions of smallholder farmers and pastoralists. To confront these challenges, the Sahara and Sahel Observatory (OSS), in collaboration with the Global Water Partnership Eastern Africa (GWPEA) and the governments of Djibouti, Kenya, Sudan, and Uganda, is implementing the DRESS-EA Project — Strengthening Drought Resilience for Smallholder Farmers and Pastoralists in the IGAD Region.
