Background

Drylands are at the core of Africa’s development challenge.

Vulnerability to climate change and other risks is growing and affecting the livelihoods and well-being of hundreds of millions of people.

What are the opportunities and obstacles for enhancing resilience in the face of these risks?

This seminar will discuss a recently released World Bank report on drought in Africa’s drylands in the perspective of lessons learnt from Danish development cooperation and implications for the changing development agenda of the future.

Rapporten kan fås gratis ved tilmelding til seminaret (begrænset antal). Banken er blevet bedt om at sende 50 eksemplarer til DIIS til seminaret.

Den trykte udgave er konferenceudgaven fra Ankara, hvor rapporten blev præsenteret på Ørkenkonventionens nylige årsmøde.
