A project called the Drought Action Catalyst is underway to help communities become more resilient to drought. This initiative aims to shift from reacting to drought crises to taking proactive, science-based approaches. The project is led by the International Water Management Institute and was introduced at a United Nations conference.

It seeks to address a critical gap in drought management, where knowledge and technologies are not being effectively translated into action on the ground. Further details about the Drought Action Catalyst are available from the source, including its goals and the challenges it aims to address in vulnerable countries and communities.
