The calls to Radio Ergo’s audience feedback platform in the week 9-15 July 2026 presented another mixed picture, similar to our recent reports, in terms of patterns of rainfall and drought and the impacts on people’s living conditions in different parts of the country. Many in southern regions spoke about rainfall and promising crop growth and harvests, whilst others particularly in central parts of the country complained of continuing drought and hardships.
