The Greater Horn of Africa is finally emerging from three years of devastating drought, with above average rainfall predicted for the forthcoming season. But it is accompanied by the risk that flooding will impact local communities and livelihoods.

The Horn of Africa, on the eastern coast of the continent, is currently being battered by an intense drought thanks to which around 20 million people are going hungry. Safely getting nutritious food to these hungry people has become even more challenging.

The Greater Horn of Africa Climate Outlook Forum has issued its forecast for March, April, May, which is an important rainfall season for large parts of the region.
