Three consecutive years of poor rains and the total failure of rains last April throughout the Horn of Africa have severely impacted the pastoral and agro-pastoral areas of Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia and Tanzania. Farmers and pastoralists, who were already in a critical condition, have depleted their assets and exhausted their traditional coping mechanisms. They need support to rebuild their lives and to strengthen their ability to cope with the problem of recurring natural disasters. With donor support and its own resources, FAO has provided a variety of vegetable and cereal seeds to drought affected farming households in Tanzania and Kenya.
