Sharing science to inform policy, practice, and resilience in Africa's drylands
ADNRC shares research outputs to inform science, policy, and practice in Africa's drylands. Our publications include peer-reviewed articles, technical reports, working papers, and policy briefs that advance understanding of the Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystem (WEFE) nexus in dryland contexts.
We are committed to open science and make our publications accessible to researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and communities working on dryland sustainability.
Peer-reviewed articles published in scientific journals, contributing to the advancement of dryland nexus science.
Research on groundwater, surface water, and integrated water resources management in drylands.
Integrated analysis of water, energy, food, and ecosystem interactions in dryland systems.
Research on climate resilience, adaptation strategies, and vulnerability assessment in drylands.
Comprehensive technical reports documenting research findings, methodologies, and recommendations for stakeholders.
Key reports providing in-depth analysis of dryland systems and nexus challenges.
Comprehensive assessment of groundwater resources, climate variability impacts, and livelihood implications across ASAL counties.
Regional analysis linking water, energy, food, and ecosystem systems across borders, with policy recommendations for transboundary cooperation.
