[IYRP General List] Positioning for IYRP - Useful findings and a chance to input into a study on water resources in the rangelands

[Carmen Jaquez]

****Cross-posting in a few groups ******

Dear All -

You are welcome to join tomorrow's webinar looking at the role of water investments in the resilience of pastoralists and the rangelands.  In support to the lead up of International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists, researchers will solicit first hand experience by pastoralists, peer researchers, and staff from humanitarian and development organizations.

Researchers from the FCDO Supporting Pastoralism and Agriculture in Protracted and Recurrent Crises (SPARC) have written an excellent blog sharing insights from their research in Ethiopia and Kenya how water development in the drylands is affecting pastoralist communities<https://www.sparc-knowledge.org/news-blog/blog/new-water-supplies-pastoralist-resilience>.

More details will be shared during an online session online at World Water Week<https://worldwaterweek.org/tickets>.  The webinar is at 11:00am CEST on Wednesday 28th.  Researchers will discuss the conclusions and invite participants to contribute their experiences to shape recommendations that will be incorporated into the final reports.

Follow the World Water Week link to access the Tickets page. You need to register for a full pass.  You'll receive an email with a link. Likely you'll need to enter the Session ID number (in picture below) to enter the correct webinar.
