Working Papers from World Bank - Technical Papers

Abstract: Although the physical aspects and agrocultural impacts of drought and government and donor responses as well as household coping and survival strategies in the event of drought have been well studied, little research has occurred on either its nonagricultural or economywide macroeconomic impacts in Sub-Saharan Africa. This paper reports the findings of an exploratory study intended as a contribution to filling this gap.
