drought resistant crops

echotech.org has quite a bit of info on drought resistant crops...I work in Zambia where this is of utmost importance, so there should be something of value here for anyone interested in Drought tolerant crops. Here is a list of drought crops we have put together:

Tuber crops; cassava, sorghum (esp quick maturing Sekedo variety), sweet and irish potatoes, millet, quinoa, moringa (stenopetala specifically) Tepary beans, Lima beans, Pigeon peas, Amaranth, Chaya, Drought tolerant rice...

These are the crops we are working with and trying to promote as a substitute for maize which is not drought tolerant...
