This joint study from Oxfam GB in Viet Nam and Cambodia, and the International Environment and Disaster Management (IEDM) laboratory of Kyoto University, investigates some aspects of the recent droughts in the Mekong region and tries to establish their likely causes and how such incidents could best be mitigated. It contains observations on how communities perceive drought and climate change and on how local governments and NGOs can help to manage climate-related such as drought. It points out that the impacts of drought are, in a real sense, a reflection of developmental problems and provides policy options that could be implemented by local communities, governments, and NGOs.
