Abstract

In this phase, a study was conducted on the institutional preparedness to cope with future el nino-induced risks on agriculture. Although people suffered shortages of food and water, each community had various coping strategies. This paper documents the indigenous coping strategies used by people in six worst affected districts in the highlands and lowlands of PNG.
