Drought is one of the most frequent natural disasters and affects around 55 million people every year, threatening livelihoods, increasing the risk of livestock disease and death, and fueling mass migration.
The Drought e-Module aims to support livestock and humanitarian practitioners responding to drought emergencies. It has been designed for those who have attended the 3-day LEGS Core Training course, complementing the training and providing additional information and analysis for planning and implementing emergency response in drought contexts. It builds on the LEGS Drought Tool (available on the Publications page).
The LEGS Drought e-Module uses a self-paced, interactive methodology, so you can complete it in your own time. It takes a total of around four hours to complete.
Get Started
The LEGS Drought e-Module is available free of charge.
Registration may be required. If you have already completed the LEGS Core Training – Online (LCT-L) course you will already be registered and will need to log in. You will not need to re-register.
LEGS E-Module on Gender
Women play a key role in livestock production and management throughout the world. Natural disasters affect men and women differently and a thorough understanding of gender roles, responsibilities and power relationships is necessary to ensure that women’s needs, as well as men’s, are met in humanitarian responses, and that gender inequities are sufficiently acknowledged and addressed.
The LEGS Gender Module complements the LEGS Core Training and provides additional information and analysis to better equip practitioners to address gender issues in the planning and implementation of emergency response.
It is designed for all who are involved in planning and implementing livestock-based responses in emergencies.
