Southern Africa has long been vulnerable to climate-induced disasters, especially droughts and floods. The severity and frequency of disasters increased in the early 1980s, continuously eroding livelihoods, which in turn invoked humanitarian intervention. A systematic review of the relationship between resilience to drought and well-being will be undertaken.
Studies will be included if they were conducted between January 1980 and December 2017; used quantitative and/or qualitative methods; were peer reviewed or comprise grey literature; covered Southern Africa; and measured resilience and its relationship to well-being. Data extraction will be informed by the Cochrane Public Health Group and the Joanna Briggs Institute manuals. The quality of evidence of the studies included will be assessed for risk bias, psychometric properties of tools used, and their suitability. The findings will be summarised into themes and narrated.
This protocol is guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines. The protocol gives insight of the scope and parameters for the systematic review to be carried out. The systematic review will establish how resilience to climate-induced disasters affects well-being. It will also provide recommendations to improve humanitarian coordination in Southern Africa.
The protocol was registered by the PROSPERO international prospective register of systematic reviews, reference CRD42017064396 .
南部非洲长期以来一直容易受到气候引发的灾害的影响，尤其是干旱和洪水。20 世纪 80 年代初，灾害的严重程度和频率不断增加，持续侵蚀着生计，从而引发了人道主义干预。将对干旱适应力与福祉之间的关系进行系统综述。
如果研究是在 1980 年 1 月至 2017 年 12 月之间进行的；使用定量和/或定性方法；经过同行评审或包含灰色文献；涵盖南部非洲；并衡量适应力及其与福祉的关系，则将包括这些研究。数据提取将参考 Cochrane 公共卫生组和 Joanna Briggs 研究所手册。将评估纳入研究的证据质量，包括风险偏倚、使用工具的心理测量学特性及其适用性。研究结果将以主题的形式进行总结和叙述。
本方案受系统评价和荟萃分析报告的首选报告项目（PRISMA-P）指南指导。该方案提供了进行系统综述的范围和参数的见解。系统综述将确定气候引发的灾害对福祉的适应力如何影响。它还将为改善南部非洲的人道主义协调提供建议。
