Moreover, the approach itself is not only educational but also accessible and engaging. The handbook contains carefully developed and tested activities, while the complementary video material consists of three training films. The material can also be used to accomodate a wide range of training, education and facilitation needs and will prove to be a valuable resource to those in the field of disaster management, sustainable agriculture or participatory development.Von Kotze, Astrid is the author of 'Living With Drought International Version Drought Mitigation for Sustainable Livelihoods' with ISBN 9781853394706 and ISBN 185339470X.
