What is it about?
A new experimental drought monitoring tool has been developed to predict the general vegetation condition using a time-lag relationships of climate and vegetation as well as the teleconnections (such as El Niño and the Lan Nina) at a monthly time step during the growing season in Ethiopia.

Why is it important?
The new tool, VegOut-Ethiopia, could provide vegetation monitoring capabilities at local, national, and regional levels that can help decision makers to estimate the food security condition in the country.
Perspectives
This tool is an experimental tool that needs to be evaluated to address the food security issues and help in Early warning Systems.
