In this Special Issue on Drought of the UNISDR Africa Informs Magazine, which has been possible through the financial
contribution of ECHO, we are looking at drought risk reduction through the lens of the Hyogo Framework of Action
(HFA), the global framework for disaster risk reduction. We would like to feature the excellent work which is being done
throughout the African region, by putting it into perspective as a holistic approach is necessary to achieve better resilience
to drought in the future.
