My department is in close contact with the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, in Somalia and at headquarter level, on both of these issues. The UK played a leading role in the response to the 2017 drought, making UK Aid available early on and mobilising early contributions from other partners, and we are working closely to ensure that the effective response continues into 2018.
