Droughts and Famines in East Africa: From man-made problems to man-made solutions | End Poverty

Droughts and Famines in East Africa: From man-made problems to man-made solutions | End Poverty: How can droughts and famines be avoided? This is the big question many conferences and summits have grappled with in recent weeks.
