Senegal experienced a significant drought in 2014, but Senegalese children did not starve to death. In fact, there was little international media coverage of the drought because Senegal, Mauritania, Niger, and Kenya led the creation of African Risk Capacity (ARC), a mutual insurance company into which they pooled resources.

who would honestly work with somalia to ensure such a thing comes to fruition?

unless they are just piggyback off the west-african model and start insuring their people that i don't see how this is going to work. the whole concept of drought insurance is a new ordeal and war-torn countries can't just pool cash like that.
