Description: Responding to the outcomes of the 15th UNCCD Conference of Parties [1] (COP) and the mandate of the 2022-2024 Intergovernmental Working Group on Drought [2] (IWG), the project objective is to enable the UNCCD Parties to address drought-related challenges and gaps through integrated land and water management approaches and land-based interventions. The project responds to the decisions of the COP 15 on drought, through enabling effective policies and partnerships on drought; identification and evaluation of global instruments and frameworks to manage drought under the Convention; identification of financing needs for drought risk reduction and resilience-building; scaling-up and facilitation of effective financing, knowledge and experience-sharing with transformative tools; and co-learning and collaboration with the communities of learning and practice.
