Announcement: Africa drought adaptation forum - Online discussion launched

UNISDR Africa and the UNDP DDC are organizing the Fifth Africa Drought Adaptation Forum around evidence on impact of disaster risk reduction (DRR) measures as well as cost-effectiveness of DRR initiatives, and the indicators of resilience.

As a run-up to the forum an online discussion was launched under http://www.disasterriskreduction.net/drought-online/discussion-forum/en/ to which UNISDR Africa would like to invite DRR community members to register and make their contribution to the following three questions:

1. What are the examples according to your view of good practice and interventions that have shown impact in building community resilience?
2. How does a resilient community in the dry lands look like?
3. Why are communities resilient or not resilient in the dry lands?

The idea is to broaden the exchange of experience among the community of practice and ensure that experts or practitioners who cannot attend the forum in person can still be part of the discussion and their views be featured in the forum.
