The new digital compendium from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) is an invaluable resource for policy- and decision makers and a broad range of drought stakeholders, to support the review process of national drought plans and contribute to their implementation.
Designed in a user-friendly web-based format, it highlights the evolution of drought risk, impact, and vulnerability concepts and presents guidelines for conducting related assessments.
The compendium emphasizes the importance of gender-sensitive analysis and provides sample impact and vulnerability indicators and data sources. It also includes a series of country reports to showcase pathways of impact and vulnerability at the national scale.
