The calls to Radio Ergo’s audience feedback platform this week (30 Jan to 5 Feb 2025) indicated worsening drought conditions being suffered by many communities in many regions. Calls from the northern regions were prominent, with significant numbers also from central regions, Hirshabelle, and parts of South West and Jubbaland.

Livestock callers raised challenges with diseases affecting their goats, whilst farmers complained of persistent pests destroying their vegetable crops.
