2011East African Drought

This study was focused on the Oromo tribe in Ethiopia. They were focused on the role/ responsibility of women and men. How it impacts their daily life and how opens them up the be prone to disaster and how their life is post disaster. We Results show that in traditional Borana society, roles are structured on the basis of gender and age groups with women responsible for activities in and around their dwellings whereas men are responsible for livestock management. However, changes in pastoral production due to recurrent droughts seem to be transforming the gender roles so that women’s workload, areas of decision-making, and income-earning opportunities have increased. This article will help me to focus on the southern side of Ethiopia, the social-economy impact and the living style of their tribe.

Forecast‐based drought early warning/early action has been hampered by both inadequate decision‐making frameworks and a lack of appropriate funding mechanisms. Rural communities in Nicaragua and Ethiopia that have participated in resilience‐building interventions of varying durations demonstrate the value of community‐based actions informed by early warning, forecasts and drought management advice, both before and during the agricultural season. An early intervention to prevent disaster is talked about in this topic. This research will help me understand how the forecasting help on early intervention. How the people can make use of forecasting when it comes to agriculture because their economy.

It argues for gender mainstreaming as an effective strategy towards achieving disaster risk reduction and mitigating post-disaster gender disparity. Highlighting that gender inequalities pervade all aspects of life, it analyses the failure to implement inclusive and gender-sensitive approaches to relief and rehabilitation work. This resource will help me talk about the gender role and effects.

Though it is very rarely possible to declare an event is entirely caused by anthropogenic climate change because it would have been impossible without it, the growing research area of event attribution. This study applies the technique of event attribution to the East African rainy seasons preceding the drought of 2011. East African rain season is consistens which can have “short” and “log” rain.The study was done for two season and see what are the impacts and there were some other probability of contribute; sea surface temperature which was part of the study. The topic is well organized and well resourced to have the knowledge of the different season in Africa and how the east Africa drought.

This paper focuses on the impacts of east African drought had on children, elderly, and women.

This paper uses the experiences of the relief organisation Kujenga Maisha East Africa (KUMEA) to understand the importance of looking beyond gender in humanitarian interventions. Here we focus on the importance of understanding the socio-economic and political context surrounding the drought and the associated humanitarian interventions, using a feminist lens to assess power relations. This research paper focuses on humanitarian intervention using feminist lens which will be very helpful to understand what some of the intervention are that is used to help women in particular.
