The Global Dryland Alliance (GDA) is an international organization composed of dryland countries and is headquartered in Doha, Qatar. Officially formed in October 2017 with a membership of 11 countries, the organization has the stated aim of advancing food security for dryland nations and innovating technologies in the fields of agriculture and water security. Preliminary drafts for the establishment of the GDA were first laid out in 2011. In September 2011, Qatari diplomat Nassir Abdulaziz Al-Nasser first publicly brought up the idea of forming a group for dryland countries at a United Nations (U.N.) meeting as a way to help improve food security. Qatari capital Doha played host to a meeting of sixteen prospective member countries and various potential partner groups in September 2012. The next year, Qatari Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani pledged a full committal to the formation of the GDA at the 68th U.N. General Assembly. More information...
