    Hello, I hope you are well.
    It is a pleasure for me to share with you the half-moon technique, a traditional method of water and soil conservation widely used in Burkina Faso, particularly in arid and semi-arid areas. It involves digging semicircular basins, generally 2 to 4 meters in diameter, with the open edge facing upslope. This technique captures and retains runoff water during the rainy season, promoting its infiltration into the soil and vegetation regeneration. It is particularly effective for restoring degraded land, combating erosion, and improving soil fertility. Used in agroforestry and agricultural fields, the half-moon plays a crucial role in helping rural communities adapt to climate change and promote sustainable agriculture in Burkina Faso.

    Hello everyone!
    What a pleasure to be part of this inspiring community!
    I'm Dieudonne Ilboudo, a water and environment specialist currently working at the General Office of Agropastoral Development and Irrigation of the Ministry of Agriculture, Animals and Fisheries Resources of Burkina Faso.
    My work focuses on sustainable water resource management, soil conservation, land reclamation, and environmental preservation. I have over four years of experience in community projects promoting climate change adaptation, integrated water resource management, and the development of rice-growing lowlands.
    I recently led initiatives on the management of invasive aquatic plants, transforming them into valuable resources such as compost and biochar to support local agriculture and the circular economy. I am passionate about drought resilience (Zai and Half-Moon Techniques) and ethical, inclusive, and innovative approaches to natural resource governance, and I strive to integrate local knowledge and community participation into all aspects of my work.
    I look forward to learning, collaborating, and contributing to this dynamic network !

    I am pleased to share the summary of EOTEC DevNet’s first round of Regional Drought Working Group Meet-ups, held in April 2025. The sessions brought together experts from Africa, the Americas, Europe, and Asia–Oceania to exchange tools, experiences, and ideas for improving drought monitoring and resilience through Earth observation.
    You can access the full summary, spotlight presentations, and meeting materials here: https://eotecdev.net/highlights-from-the-first-eotec-devnet-regional-dr…

    As a next step, we invite you to contribute to the EOTEC DevNet Drought Tools Tracker—a living database of existing tools, initiatives, and training resources for drought monitoring and management. Your input will help strengthen coordination and improve access to practical solutions across regions. Submit your contribution here: https://eotecdev.net/eforms/drought-tools-tracker-contributor-form/20/

    If you would like to stay involved or join the conversation, feel free to sign up for the Drought Working Group using this form: https://eotecdev.net/eforms/eotec-devnet-communications-regular-meeting…

    Dear colleagues,

    We are pleased to invite members of the UNCCD Community of Learning and Practice (CLP) to the upcoming EOTEC DevNet Drought Working Group regional meet-ups, taking place in April. These virtual sessions will focus on sharing insights into Earth observation-based drought monitoring tools, key initiatives, and training opportunities in each region.

    We believe these sessions will be highly relevant to the CLP community and offer valuable space for knowledge sharing and collaboration across networks.

    More information at:

    Martyna
