Abstract
Public policies as well as climate and business development funds need to take into account that in semi-arid lands the private sector is often informal, that people are mobile, and that they often move in and out of different economic activities. This brief distils broad lessons from Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE) research regarding the kinds of policies, institutions and other public investments that can support adaptation and climate-resilient development across a broad range of private actors. These will be fundamental to achieving the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development pledge to ‘leave no one behind.’
