Description: This book provides an understanding of the occurrence and impacts of droughts for developing countries and vulnerable sub-groups, such as women and pastoralists. A multi-sectoral perspective of the human dimensions of drought in developing countries is presented, featuring the latest research by scholars from drought-affected countries in Africa and Asia. The impacts of droughts on livelihoods are a key factor in development in many dryland and agriculturally-dependent nations.
This is a co-edited volume with contributions primarily from emerging scholars in Africa and South Asia, which represent the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (Mapedza/South Africa), the Secretariat for the Convention to Combat Desertification (Tsegai/Eritrea) and the German Development Institute (Bruentrup/Germany).
