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. Key Features: 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. Readership: Academics working on drought management challenges and policy responses, policy makers, Climatologists, meteorologists, food scientists/ agriculturalists/ environmental engineers. --
