ASSAR Working Paper, ASSAR PMU, South Africa, 111 pp.http://hdl.handle.net/10625/57427This series is based on work funded by Canada’s International Development Research Centre (IDRC) and the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID) through the Collaborative Adaptation Research Initiative in Africa and Asia (CARIAA).This report summarises key findings from the regional diagnostic study (RDS) of the ASSAR East Africa team, and identifies major gaps in the existing literature on areas of vulnerability and adaptation in East Africa. The discussion provides the foundation for detailed case study work planned for the major phase of research, the Regional Research Programme (RRP), as well as an underpinning guide to develop a dialogue on adaptation options.application/pdfenEAST AFRICAADAPTATIONVULNERABILITYSEMI-ARID REGIONSUGANDACLIMATE CHANGEETHIOPIAKENYAWorking Paper
