This report covers calls received on Radio Ergo’s nationwide audience feedback platform within the date range 12-25 March 2026. Due to the Eid season and some technical challenges on the platform, we were unable to meet our usual weekly target of processing and analysing calls. However, in this report period callers remained preoccupied by the drought and its heavy toll on livelihoods across the country, mentioning livestock losses, and shortages of water and food. Many callers asked for aid or assistance, as they waited for rainfall. Towards the latter part of the period, a number of callers from different regions mentioned receiving rain, although some noted that this was scattered or inconsistent. Livestock diseases among drought-depleted herds were also a concern among callers. Around a third of all callers were female, speaking on topics including drought conditions, livestock disease, conflict, rainfall, and nutrition.
