The dramatic humanitarian crises caused by crippling droughts in the Horn of Africa and the Sahel in recent years have brought to the forefront of the development debate the chronic vulnerability of many of the people living there. Breaking the recurring cycle of drought, suffering, and impoverishment will require policy makers and donor partners to design resilience-enhancing interventions that (1) identify the vulnerabilities keeping so many households mired in poverty, (2) project how these vulnerabilities will evolve over time, and (3) evaluate the relative advantages and disadvantages of interventions having the potential to improve and stabilize the livelihood strategies on which the most vulnerable households depend.
