Drought Resilience Profile, South Africa

This Drought Resilience Profile for South Africa 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 Eswatini 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.
