  This dissertation interprets gender-differentiated vulnerability
  to drought within a rural community located in the dry zone,
  la zona seca, of Nicaragua, a region that has been identified by
  the government and NGO sector as suffering from prolonged
  and, since the 1970s, more frequent droughts. A combination of
  gender, capitals, and vulnerability demonstrates the value in using
  a multidimensional perspective to look at the socioeconomic and
  cultural contexts that form the capacity individuals have had to
  reduce their long-term vulnerability to drought in Nicaragua. Due
  to the place-based characteristics of gender as well as vulnerability
  the analysis is mainly based on people’s stories about the history
  of their lives. Based on these stories a local level picture is created
  of the households’ situation over time, how their work strategies
  and management of resources have varied, and how they perceived
  changes in capacity and vulnerability in relation to continuity
  and change in the climate. The issue of adaptive capacity, which
  currently is less covered in research on gender and vulnerability
  and recognized in the literature as in need of more attention, and
  how it distinguishes itself from coping capacity in relation to
  vulnerability, is placed at the center of analysis. In an additional
  analysis of how Nicaragua’s hazard management policies look upon
  the role and importance of interaction among societal levels and
  actors in reducing hazard vulnerability I show how the discourse
  has moved from emergency response to risk management with an
  increased emphasis on capacity building. However, the recognition
  to differentiated vulnerability is lacking which risks hampering a
  successful vulnerability reduction.
