Many callers noted replenishment of resources and recovery of livestock and farms. However, some in central and southern areas said the rains had been short-lived and inadequate, with many noting the scattered nature of the rainfall leaving some areas still dry. A few callers raised concerns about the lack of access to nutritional supplements due to the diversion of aid. Others were concerned by conflict affecting communities, the lack of jobs, and mosquito infestations.

Radio Ergo audience feedback report 26 March – 1April 2026

Radio Ergo — Wed, 01 Apr 2026 12:16:38 +0000

(ERGO) – The calls to Radio Ergo’s independent audience feedback platform this week (26 March to 4 April 2026) show a mixed picture across the country in terms of weather conditions and their impact on people’s lives and livelihoods. Callers noted rainfall in many regions, notably Sanag, Puntland, some central areas, and southern regions including Gedo. Some of these callers noted that they now enjoyed replenished water sources, although others indicated only sporadic and scattered rainfall. At the same time, the platform received a far larger number of callers saying they were still afflicted by severe drought conditions, with livestock losses and food shortages, and that rainfall had not arrived in their areas. Whilst an overall pattern would be hard to discern, these callers came largely from Mudug and Galgadud, as well as from Hiran, Middle Shabelle, and Bay and Bakool. However, there were many callers to the weekly farming programme, indicating that farmers were planting. Livestock diseases remained a concern to pastoralists calling the radio vet experts. Two callers living near rivers wanted help in averting floods. The topic of nutrition was popular week among women callers, and the mental health programme also resonated with audiences, judging from the feedback.
