Drought Resilience Profile, Eswatini

Summary

This Drought Resilience Profile for Eswatini provides a snapshot of the drought situation in each country, as evaluated through SADRI’s organizing approach, which is predicated upon the integrated drought risk management framework: 1) monitoring and early warning systems; 2) vulnerability and impact assessment; and 3) mitigation, preparedness, and response. This Profile and the 10 other ones dedicated to DRC, Angola, Mozambique, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Botswana, Lesotho, Namibia and South Africa are meant to establish a baseline and to serve as a conversation starter for where and how to move from reactive to proactive drought management.
