Respond Drought crisis is responded the recent successive failed and poor performance rainy seasons have exacerbated the fragile livelihood situation of the rural affected people in eastern regions of Somaliland (Buroa, Sanaag and Sool). there has been a widespread water shortage that had seriously affected vulnerable groups of the communities including lactating women, young girls and children. Droughts had impacted the lives of people so much, that there has been a water scarcity, limited grazing areas, and constant movement of people to far areas by searching clean water, over that, inflation also burdened the people and the critical situations rendered people to face a harsh time and flee to better areas they could survive.
