| Ethiopia: key drought developments to watch in Afar, SNNP, Somali, and southern and eastern Oromia regions |
|
|
Since 2020, prolonged drought resulting from consecutive failed rainy seasons has continued to affect northern, southeastern, and southern parts of Ethiopia.
Key considerations:
- Drought is likely to persist in 2023. Afar, SNNP, Somali, and southern and eastern Oromia are expected to face a further worsening of current drought conditions.
- Flooding in parts of Oromia and Somali regions has damaged and caused losses of land and property.
- The drought will likely continue to affect agriculture and pastoralist livelihoods.
- Considering the increase in food prices, access to food for many households in drought-affected areas is expected to continue to be limited.
