The Horn of Africa faces severe water security challenges, primarily driven by its geographic and climatic conditions. A large portion of the population lives in arid and semi-arid regions, where water shortages arecommon for at least three months every year.

These are exacerbated by climate change, which causes unpredictable variations in temperature and rainfall. Consequently, the region often experiences droughts and floods, devastating livelihoods and trapping communities in cycles of poverty.
