| Protect African Farmers |
Several African nations are prone to extreme weather condition such as drought. It is something inevitable and has long been endured by the Africans. Several countries have already reached out to help African farmers endure harsh weather conditions the region has to offer.
In Ethiopia, a massive effort to find ways on how to protect farmers from extreme weather conditions has already taken place. Records show that Ethiopia is quite vulnerable to droughts usually resulting to poor farming communities undergoing starvation and extreme poverty for the rest of the year. Today, a broad crop insurance policy has been conceptualized that aims to help out farmers get by and recover quickly when the weather goes back to normal. The said program is being managed by Oxfam America which is being supported by the international Research Institute for Climate and Society. The said organization is directly a part of the Earth Institute of Columbia University.
