Produktbeschreibung

Drought Challenges: Livelihood Implications in Developing Countries, Volume Two, provides an understanding of the occurrence and impacts of droughts for developing countries and vulnerable sub-groups, such as women and pastoralists. It presents tools for assessing vulnerabilities, introduces individual policies to combat the effects of droughts, and highlights the importance of integrated multi-sectoral approaches and drought networks at various levels. Currently, there are few books on the market that address the growing need for knowledge on these cross-cutting issues. As drought can occur anywhere, the systemic connections between droughts and livelihoods are a key factor in development in many dryland and agriculturally-dependent nations.

• Connects the biophysical, social, economic, policy and institutional aspects of droughts across multiple regions in developing world
• Analyzes policy linkages between government agencies, public institutions, NGOs, the private sector and communities
• Includes a discussion of gender dimensions of drought and its impacts
• Presents a multi-sectoral perspective, including the human dimensions of drought in developing countries
