The Horn of Africa (HoA) is grappling with recurrent floods in the
aftermath of the worst drought in 40 years, which were compounded
by conflict, locust infestations, and political instability. In FY25, CIWA
deepened its support for water security in the HoA by improving access
to groundwater—a vital resource—through expanding the regional
knowledge base, strengthening partner capacity for sustainable
groundwater management and development, and advancing regional
initiatives that build long-term resilience. It also fueled dialogue and
cooperation among countries in a region that is at risk of conflict for
multiple reasons.
