When drought hits, resilience becomes a lifeline.
Watch how @FAO is strengthening fodder systems, training agropastoralists & expanding financial inclusion through VSLAs helping rural communities rebuild their livelihoods & build resilience to climate shocks.

Poor rains, rising hunger and funding cuts are pushing millions to the brink in Somalia.
I've allocated $10M from @UNCERF for early action – to protect people before drought becomes catastrophe.
Food. Water. Health. Critical to reach people in the hardest-hit areas.
