Overview

The Drylands Development Centre (DDC) is one of the three UNDP Thematic Centres around the world. Based in Nairobi, Kenya, DDC provides core support for development and poverty reduction in the drylands to affected countries world-wide through the Integrated Drylands Development Programme (IDDP). The overall goal of the IDDP is to contribute to poverty reduction through the sustainable development of drylands leading to reduced vulnerability and improved livelihoods. The expected outcomes of the IDDP are 1) Drylands issues, climate change adaptation and mitigation mainstreamed into national policies, planning and development frameworks and contributing to the effective implementation of the United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD); 2) Vulnerability of drylands communities to environmental, economic and socio–cultural challenges (such as climate risks, drought, land degradation, poor markets, migration) reduced and adaptation/mitigation capacity built; and 3) Drylands communities benefit from improved local governance, management and utilization of natural resources. This support is provided through the UNDP country offices. Under the framework of the IDDP, in particular in support of the achievement of the second outcome area, DDC has been managing the Africa-Asia Drought Risk Management Peer Assistance Project (hereafter the Project) with the financial support from the Government of Japan (GOJ) through the Japan-UNDP Partnership Fund (JUPF) since 2010. The project seeks to: (a) create an enabling environment for inter-regional knowledge sharing and technical cooperation among drought-prone countries in Africa and Asia; and (b) increase the use of best practices in DRM for development in the two regions. The expected outcome of the Project is strengthened capacities at multiple scales in drought-prone areas in Africa and Asia to mitigate the impacts of drought and enhance climate risk management through application of good practices.
