What is the main problem facing IGAD?

The main problem facing the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD) is the challenge of regional stability and security, particularly due to ongoing conflicts, political instability, and humanitarian crises in member states like South Sudan, Somalia, and Sudan. These issues are exacerbated by climate change, which contributes to resource scarcity and exacerbates tensions. Additionally, IGAD's effectiveness is often hindered by limited resources and political will among member states to cooperate fully on regional initiatives.
