The COP (Dec 23/COP 14, Para 11a) invited Parties, international organizations and stakeholders to make submissions on: (i) Policy, implementation and institutional coordination frameworks and implementation measures for addressing drought under the convention; and (ii) Barriers, challenges and opportunities in preparing for, responding to and recovering from drought. The same decision (Para 9) also requested the secretariat to compile an inventory of existing drought-related tools beyond the Drought Toolbox and make this information available to Parties.
