It examines five recurring issues: difficult geography; weak institutions; poor access to markets and trade; deficits in infrastructure and human capital; and low productivity. Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE) research focuses on pathways for investment and development that can unlock rapid economic growth, poverty reduction and climate resilience simultaneously in semi-arid lands (SALs).
