Abstract:Focuses on the analysis of the drought and famine experience during the early 1970s and on the lessons to be learnt from it. Against the background of the disaster events and that of a deteriorating food situation in the 1980s it is shown how the outcome of current rural development policy will be increased vulnerability of the poor to disasters. An alternative policy orientation is proposed, which would lead to increased self-reliance at all relevant levels as well to preparedness to mitigate disaster threats.
