The fight against poverty is never more difficult than in times of crisis. For communities that are already poor and vulnerable, any kind of disaster whether it is man-made or natural, can be catastrophic. CARE International takes a comprehensive view: disasters do not happen in isolation. Our aim is to look further than the immediate need and work with communities on long-term sustainable development programmes. CARE also aims to meet the Sphere standards - to ensure people can live their lives with dignity following a disaster response.

The Sahel has long been vulnerable to drought, impoverishment and food insecurity, as the droughts of the mid-1970s, 1980s and 2005 show. Over the past 20 years, IIED has run a major programme of work in the Sahel that aims not only to demonstrate the fragility of human and environmental systems, but also to show the remarkable energy and innovation that local people can draw on to adapt and survive in an often hostile setting.
