dc.description.abstractPoverty is disproportionally concentrated in arid and semi-arid areas; population growth rates are high; women and children are highly vulnerable and a large proportion of children are malnourished. Distress-migration is common. Among other considerations and recommendations in this report: given that food security relies on rainfed farming, more investment must be directed towards increasing rainwater productivity, reducing the yield gap, and managing risk; targeted policy options are required, with public investments and incentive packages for dry areas towards resilience of rainfed farming systems. Cooperative partnerships among research networks are encouraged. Many other recommendations are included.en
