This workshop was organized on the theme: "Presentation, prioritization, and validation of Nature-based Solutions for the implementation of priority nature-based soil, water, and land management practices in the Democratic Republic of Congo."

The objectives of this workshop were to:

1.  Validate the national inventory of integrated water resource management practices.
2.  Prioritize integrated water resource management practices relevant to flood and erosion risk reduction.
