Expert Consultation Meeting on South Asia Drought Monitoring System (SADMS) with focus on Sri Lanka held on 26 September 2017 at International Water Management Institute (IWMI) in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Related to the GCF, the workshop will focus on building capacity of, strengthening collaboration among, and sharing lessons across the GCF National Designated Authority (NDA), Direct Access Entities (DAEs) and potential DAEs, and water ministries or national water agencies within a country, and across country. Coordination among these national level mechanisms for successful preparation and participation in the workshop will serve as a useful example of similar cross-institutional coordination required to access other climate funds.
