In the Horn of Africa, UNICEF responds to crop-failure-driven hunger by treating severe acute malnutrition, scaling emergency nutrition services, and reducing disease risks that worsen child hunger. It procures and delivers Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), supports safe water and sanitation, and strengthens primary health care and immunization so children can survive and recover during climate-driven food crises.
WFP addresses climate-driven crop losses by delivering emergency food and cash assistance, using early warning and seasonal forecasts for anticipatory action, and helping households and farmers become more resilient through drought preparedness and climate-smart support. In the broader Horn of Africa and nearby drought-affected areas, this approach is used to prevent acute hunger before harvest failure becomes famine.
