'Complex drought' in southern Africa – a water and sanitation perspective
During 2002–3, food insecurity was reported in southern Africa, resulting from a fall in agricultural production levels. The origins of this crisis appear not to be so much low rainfall, however,as a number of factors, some relating to the high incidence of HIV/AIDS and the consequent decline in maintenance of water sources. Humanitarian assistance should address these complex causes rather than
simply seeing this as a water shortage.
