Supporting vulnerable communities in the Eastern Cape: assessing the rainfall evidence.

Abstract
 Decline in mean annual rainfall of over 10% has been experienced widely in the Eastern Cape over the past 20 years. In many cases, this means that annual rainfall of about 500 mm in the past is now about 400 mm, and the summer seasonal rainfall has declined from 400 mm to 300 mm. This means that drainage density will have decreased by about 50%, and that rainfed cropping is no longer viable in these areas. Strategies for assisting vulnerable households include technical innovations (moisture conservation, soil organic matter management and mulching), as well as a mentorship programme by competent commercial farmers who have been trained in adult education. Attending to capacity building and rural infrastructure development will also be important, as well as agricultural education (especially of young women from the rural areas).
