It provides the first comprehensive analysis of Greater Horn of Africa (GHA)’s food insecurity and hydroclimate using the state-of-the-art .Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment.

Moreover, GHA is bedevilled by poor governance and the ``.donor-assistance.” syndrome; andin 2020-2021 faced the so-called ``triple threats’’ of .desert locust infestation., .climate variability/change. .impacts. and .COVID-19 pandemic..
