DRYNET’s partner organisations are engaged in numerous initiatives to combat desertification and improve the living conditions of people living in drylands. They have been documenting the impact that their work has had on local communities. This publication shows some of the results they have achieved and highlights the added value of acting as an international network.
These stories not only show how DRYNET’s collaborative work has reversed land degradation at the local level, but also how partners have influenced changes in policies that affect drylands

In november 2011 Both ENDS published this policy note Adaptation Finance.
This policy note provides insight into how the ADAPTS approach has taken shape in six river basins around the world. It first focuses on two country cases, Ethiopia and Ghana, as they well illustrate how local adaptation solutions have been supported and how these solutions have been up-scaled through policy dialogue respectively. In the next section, the main characteristics of the ADAPTS approach are summarised, followed by an overview of Dutch and international adaptation funding. A gap is identified between funding through mainly national governments and the need to integrate local stakeholders in decision-making. Finally, recommendations are provided on how to bridge this gap.
