Abstract
Drought-driven humanitarian emergencies are becoming more frequent in the Horn of Africa where millions of people in this arid region face chronic water and food insecurity. Evidence from the region shows increasing reliance on groundwater supplies, infrastructure and institutional systems in response to decreasing rainfall. Drought emergencies can be mitigated by investing in resilience efforts that make safe water reliably available at strategic groundwater abstraction locations during cycles of water stress. A combination of early warning data, policy reform, asset management and improved rural water supplies and maintenance may enable rapid, responsive, and accountable water governance that is more cost effective than emergency relief and better positioned to absorb and adapt to shocks.
在非洲之角，由干旱引发的人道主义紧急危机日益频繁，该干旱地区有数百万人面临着长期的水资源和粮食不安全问题。该地区的证据表明，为应对降雨量的减少，对地下水供给、基础设施和制度体系的依赖与日俱增。通过投资于韧性建设，在水资源压力周期内确保战略性地下水开采点能够可靠供应安全用水，可以有效缓解干旱危机。将预警数据、政策改革、资产管理以及农村供水与维护设施的改善相结合，有助于构建一种快速、响应敏锐且权责明确的水治理机制；该机制不仅比应急救援更具成本效益，而且能更好地抵御和适应冲击。
