Drought challenges: Livelihood Implications in Developing Countries provides an understanding of the occurrence and impacts of droughts for developing countries, and for specific vulnerable sub-groups such as women and pastoralists. It presents tools for assessing vulnerabilities, introduces them to individual policies to combat the effects of droughts, and highlights the importance of integrated multi-sectoral approaches and drought networks of actors at various levels. Currently, there are few books on the market that address the growing need for knowledge and best practices on these cross-cutting issues.

Drought can occur virtually anywhere but is often overlooked. The systemic connections between droughts and livelihoods are a key factor in development in many dryland and agriculturally-dependent nations and regions; even so, there is limited interaction and coordination across practitioners, governments, and institutional 'silos' on tackling the challenges posed by drought. However, attitudes are changing, and there is growing recognition of the need for future cooperation and innovation between silos. Drought challenges: Livelihood Implications in Developing Countries bridges the gap by bringing various actors together to work for a common purpose.

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
