Advances and challenges in DRR investment and financing
Purpose This article aims to synthesize expert analyses on progress, challenges and innovations in disaster risk reduction (DRR) financing and investment since the Hyogo Framework (HF) (2005–2015). It highlights systemic barriers, emerging strategies and lessons for policymakers. Design/methodology/approach Contributions from nine DRR experts are analysed, focusing on historical trends, case studies (e.g. Kenya’s FLLoCA Program) and empirical dat…

NGO Initiatives in Risk Reduction
NGOs appear to be well placed to play a significant role in natural disaster mitigation and preparedness (DMP), working, as they do, with poorer and marginalised groups in society. However, there is little information on the scale or nature of NGO DMP activities. This paper reports the findings of a study seeking to address that gap. It confirms that NGOs are involved in a diverse range of DMP activities but that a number of them are not labelled…
Drought and Sub-Saharan African Economies
Droughts are frequent and severe in many countries of Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) and have a devastating impact on their peoples and economies. The extreme vulnerability to rainfall in the arid and semiarid areas of the continent and the poor capacity of most African soils to retain moisture result in almost 60 percent of SSA being vulnerable to drought and 30 percent being extremely vulnerable. Since the 1960s, rainfall in parts of the Sahel and So…
Additionality or diversion? food aid to Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Republics and the implications for developing countries
The Impact of Drought on Sub-Saharan African Economies
Drought shocks can have potentially large, but highly differentiated economy?wide impacts, depending on the structure and resource endowments of an economy. Counter?intuitively, drought shocks have the greatest economy?wide impact in countries at intermediate rather than early stages of development. This has important policy implications for the appropriateness of various drought relief and mitigation measures in different economies. Resumé L'imp…

Food aid and food crisis in Sub-Saharan Africa
This paper documents the rapid expansion and changes in food aid flows to Sub-Saharan Africa up to mid-1985.Trends for Sub-Saharan Africa as a whole and for the more seriously affected countries are examined, as are the comparative experiences of food aid of individual countries in the region. Table 11 lists the Sub-Saharan African countries and indicates the most seriously affected food-short countries, as defined by the WFP/FAO task force.It sh…
