Today in Jijiga, Ethiopia, IGAD and its partners, including UN Development, UNICEF, and Food and Agriculture Organization, with support from World Bank Africa, launched the Groundwater Access Facility (GaFa) project to address water scarcity affecting millions in the Horn of Africa.

Important launch today of multipartner Ground Water Access Facility #GAFA project in Jigjiga. Water is for SDGs, People and for Peace -as ”Any two or more countries engaged in active #TransboundaryWaterCooperation do not go to war for any reason”

'if you don't measure it, you can't manage it' is so true especially for the 'invisible' #groundwater resource. Thanks IGAD Secretariat for initiating this very much needed initiative.

𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐧 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐋𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥 𝐚𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐝𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐧𝐞 - 𝟗-𝟎𝟓: The water level at Shebelle River in Beledwayne has increased over the past 48 hours, crossing both low and medium flood thresholds at 6.5 and 7.3 meters, respectively.

Took a while to readvertise this position. But it's a hugely exciting opportunity to make a difference in the global south.

Interacting with local communities is a super enriching experience, learning every minute. More Under-the-Tree-meetings, less online-meetings ;-)

With increasing weather extremes it is crucial to monitor the cimate variables for EW and for understanding the aquifer recharge mechanism. Thanks to these additional Automatic Weather Stations we are better equipped to do so, together with local authorities and communities.

Calling all future water leaders! 💧 Applications are now open for our Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree programmes. Find detailed information here: edu.nl/86wjf

Thanks to #BHA funding, FAO SWALIM, in collaboration with PL MoAI and IMC, installed three Automatic Weather Stations in Eyl, Dhahar, and Baargaal. These will monitor key weather parameters to support climate change monitoring & planning of clean energy development projects.

We cannot change the way the rain is falling from the sky. What we can change is the way we harvest it, store it use it and re-use it, so that it becomes useful for our productive sector and can enhance livelihoods, reducing the need for humanitarian assistance. FAO in Somalia

The WORLD #DROUGHT ATLAS is out! Please check below for a very comprehensive overview of the world of drought and learn how drought manifests, is felt and dealt with around the world.

Get a cup of coffee and listen to Hannah Ritchie (Our World in Data; Uni Oxford) explain in 12 minutes how we can solve the climate crisis. We have the means to do it. But we must overcome the powerful resistance by those who benefit from the current fossil fuel system.

To achieve equitable water sharing we need open data and open information so that every stakeholder can be informed. Water knows no borders. Water security is Food Security. FAO in Somalia IHE Delft 💧 Institute for Water Education
