RIYADH: The UN World Food Programme (WFP) is working with Saudi Arabia on sustainable solutions to hunger and the effects of climate change in the Horn of Africa.
“In this region, we had periodic droughts every seven years. Now it’s almost every year,” Erika Joergensen, WFP regional director for East and Central Africa, told Arab News during her visit to Riyadh.
“People have recovered from the 2016-17 drought, but now you have almost 14 million people who are affected by drought,” she said.
