The GEF-7 Drylands Sustainable Landscapes Impact Program (DSL IP) aims to transform the management of drylands in 11 countries across three geographical clusters:

1. The Miombo and Mopane ecosystems of Southern Africa

2. The savanna and grasslands in East and West Africa and

3. The temperate grasslands, savannas and shrublands of Central Asia.

This session brings partners and stakeholders from different sectors and scales (local, national, regional and global) together to share their respective perspectives on the dryland management challenges in the target regions, and discuss how the DSL IP’s programmatic approach will support them in overcoming these challenges.
