Drought and Food SecurityThe Drylands Development Centre, the Bureau for Crisis Prevention and Recovery and the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction are supporting the African Drought Risk and Development Network, known in its short name as the Drought Forum. The Drought forum aims to promote the development of coordinated strategies for enhanced and effective drought management at national level. It was developed in response to the demand from drought risk management practitioners (NGOs, international agencies, government representatives, practitioners, etc.), as expressed at the Africa Drought Risk and Development Policy Forum in February 2005. This joint initiative has created a platform that will assist practitioners to address issues related to drought risk and its implications for development. It will do so by providing critical and often hard-to-find resources, all in one place http://www.droughtnet.org. More on Drought |
