Drought Monitoring in the Kingdom of Eswatini

Akvo is implementing a state-of-the-art drought monitoring platform that integrates automation and open-source technology to make drought tracking more efficient, accurate, and accessible.
Instead of relying on manual data collection and processing, the system automates drought monitoring, integrating real-time data to enable faster, more informed decision-making. By providing timely and validated insights, it empowers local communities and government agencies to anticipate and respond to drought threats more effectively.
The platform is designed to seamlessly integrate with Eswatini’s existing IT infrastructure, ensuring ease of use, long-term sustainability, and minimal disruption to current workflows. Additionally, it enhances collaboration and coordination across key sectors - including agriculture, water management, and disaster response - enabling a unified and data-driven approach to drought resilience.
