(ERGO) – Water shortage and drought were the predominant concerns among callers this week (14-19 March 2021) to Radio Ergo’s independent nationwide call-in platform. Locusts also remained a major concern. Many communities across the country reported being raved by a combination of drought, water and pasture shortages, and locusts, causing a heavy toll on pastoralist and farming livelihoods. The number of callers about Coronavirus was also up on the previous week, suggesting spread of the disease in many areas.
