Drynet

"Drynet" is an EU co-financed international project that started in January 2007 for a 3 years period. An initiative against dryland degradation and poverty of 14 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from all over the world: Africa, Asia, Latin America and Europe.

The project aims at strengthening the role of non-governmental/civil society organisations within international development processes of the UNCCD and other strategic policy frameworks. Specific focus lies on capacity building within the civil society to mainstream dryland issues into the national and international development agendas. Worldwide identification and exchange of best practices to combat desertification (from traditional knowledge to promising technology) between NGOs and other stakeholders, such as the science community, will be rendered feasible by means of a website, local newsletters and a radio production in several languages.
