Pathways to Resilience in Semi-arid Economies (PRISE)
Abstract
This review discusses the concept of human capital as well as the mechanism for resilience building in the context of risks introduced by climate change in semi-arid regions. The review identifies certain policy gaps that suggest that the development paradigm of Pathways to Resilience in Semi-Arid Economies (PRISE) countries needs to alter and consider climate change as more of a development issue rather than environment alone. More investment should be directed towards data documentation regarding climate induced migration. Conceptual frameworks need to be established towards understanding how health and education endowments can be used to enhance climate resilience.UK Government’s Department for International Development (DfID
