Integrated Drought Management Programme

The goal of Vulnerability and Impact Assessment (Pillar 2) is to determine the primary historical, current and, likely, future impacts associated with drought (impact assessment) and to assess the root cause of these impacts, i.e, vulnerability assessment. Drought impact and vulnerability assessment are directed at gaining an understanding of both the natural and human processes associated with drought and the impacts that occur. An outcome of Pillar 2 is the creation of a vulnerability profile for each sector, region, population group or community, i.e., vulnerability mapping.
