Welcome to the Community of Learning and Practice on Drought Management!At COP 15, Parties requested the UNCCD Secretariat to encourage, support and facilitate communities of learning and practice to pursue co-learning and collaboration for drought risk reduction and resilience capacity-building issues (Dec 23/COP. 15 Para 8). As response to this decision, the UNCCD Secretariat in collaboration with GWP launched the Communities of Learning and Practice (CLPs) with the mission to pursue co-learning and collaboration for drought risk reduction and resilience capacity-building issues. The objectives of the CLPs are to: Enhance the knowledge and technical capacities of national actors and key stakeholder working on drought management and desertification, i.a., though the uptake of the UNCCD Drought Toolbox.Encourage the adoption, replication, and upscaling of integrated and inclusive drought management practices. Support the design and development of integrated drought management policies and governance frameworks. Build trust, cooperation, and a shared sense of identification between national actors and other key stakeholder working on drought management and desertification.Support a paradigm shift towards proactive, gender responsive and transdisciplinary thinking on integrated drought management.The CLPs pertain to policy makers, scientists, international experts, researchers, students, farmers, field practitioners and other professionals who are interested in drought-related issues  . Women, youth, and indigenous people are particularly welcome to join the CLPs.The CLPs are open to people across the world. In addition to the global CLP, there are also 5 regional CLPs (Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC), Northern Mediterranean, Central and Eastern Europe). The regional CLPs will add value to this knowledge sharing platform by allowing community members to discuss region specific ideas, challenges, and experiences.This online knowledge hub offers a vi
