  • Description: Interactions between natural, socioeconomic and political threats can lead to compound crises where the cumulative impacts are far larger than the sum of individual threats. The Horn of Africa is especially prone to compound crises. Many governments across the Horn of Africa, and elsewhere, struggle to address the drivers of compound risk.
