<p>Eritrea’s location in the Horn of Africa makes it susceptible to extreme weather
events such as droughts and flooding. We are concerned by deteriorating levels of
food security in the Horn of Africa as a result of poor rainfall across much of the
region. Slower economic growth and the residual effects of war also perpetuate the
vulnerability of Eritrea’s population.</p><p> </p><p>DFID has funded life-saving activity
in Eritrea for several years, including providing £3.24m to UNICEF in 2018-19 to help
treat malnutrition in under-fives and provide access to safe hygiene and sanitation
services. DFID has recently agreed to extend funding to UNICEF Eritrea until March
2021.</p>
