dc.description.abstractControl over land and water resources is critical in semi-arid environments. The paper uses the example of the semi-arid Awash region in North-Eastern Ethiopia, which has experienced drought and alien plant invasion. It explores how men and women adapt using changes in household structures, negotiating intra-household relations and resource access in contexts of social and environmental transition. Findings show the Afar people are shifting from pastoralism into agriculture and salaried employment. To improve the wellbeing of those heavily dependent on natural resources for their livelihoods, improved primary health services and strengthened productive and social safety net programs would help households recover from environmental shocks and stresses.en
