This Policy Brief was prepared within the project “Drought-ADAPT: Adaptation to Drought and El Niño Effects in the Central Highlands of Vietnam”, financed by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The aim of Drought-ADAPT is to develop innovative solutions to support short, medium and long-term planning and adaptation measures to droughts and their effects in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.

It provides background information on agricultural droughts and the El Niño effect in the Central Highlands in Vietnam. Further, it shows the framework conditions for mainstreaming EbA as well as the relevance of EbA practices for increased drought resilience. It concludes with recommendations on mainstreaming EbA in the agricultural context in Vietnam.
