![Integrated Drought Management
Programme Background
Launched in 2013 at High-Level Meeting on National Drought Policies (HMNDP) to support
implementation of its outcomes
[Excerpt of HMNDP final declaration, emphasis added]
• Develop proactive drougth impact mitigation, preventive and planning measures, risk
management, fostering of science, appropriate technology and innovation, public outreach
and resource management as key elements of effective national drought policy
• Promote greater collaboration to enhance the quality of local/national/regional/global
observation networks and delivery systems
• Improve public awareness of drought risk and preparedness for drought
• Consider, where possible [...]risk reduction, risk sharing and risk transfer tools in drought
management plans
• Link drought management plans to local/national development policies](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Frederik Piscke: #Drought solutions and #IWRM – Experiences from the IDMP @freddop21
- 1. Drought solutions and integrated water resource management – Experiences from the IDMP FREDERIK PISCHKE GLOBAL WATER PARTNERSHIP (GWP) / WORLD METEOROLOGICAL ORGANIZATION (WMO) INTEGRATED DROUGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAMME (IDMP) 2 DECEMBER 2015– UNFCCC COP 21 SESSION: “CLIMATE IS WATER: SOLUTIONS FOR THE FUTURE”

Integrated Drought Management Programme Background Launched in 2013 at High-Level Meeting on National Drought Policies (HMNDP) to support implementation of its outcomes [Excerpt of HMNDP final declaration, emphasis added] • Develop proactive drougth impact mitigation, preventive and planning measures, risk management, fostering of science, appropriate technology and innovation, public outreach and resource management as key elements of effective national drought policy • Promote greater collaboration to enhance the quality of local/national/regional/global observation networks and delivery systems • Improve public awareness of drought risk and preparedness for drought • Consider, where possible [...]risk reduction, risk sharing and risk transfer tools in drought management plans • Link drought management plans to local/national development policies
- 3. IDMP Regional Programmes and Country Support Support action and implementation on the ground, adding to existing efforts strength of IDMP and its 30 partners Central and Eastern Europe (2012): Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Hungary, Lithuania, Moldova, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Ukraine Horn of Africa (2014): Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, South Sudan, Sudan and Uganda. West Africa (2015): First in Burkina Faso, Niger and Mali, and then share lessons learned with other neighbouring countries through the WMO partners, GWP Country Water Partnerships and other partners. South Asia Drought Monitoring System (2014) with IWMI Mexico (2013), Turkey (2013)
- 4. Framework: National Drought Management Policy Guidelines • Adapting of 10-step process by Don Wilhite (National Drought Mitigation Center at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln) • Response to need articulated at High-level Meeting on National Drought Policy (HMNDP) • Template that can be adapted to national realities and needs Central and Eastern Europe • Building on existing risk management capacities
- 5. Success factors to foster prevention, mitigation and preparedness Build on existing Disaster Risk Management frameworks – avoiding compartemantilization yet providing specificity (Central and Eastern Europe; Uganda) Bridge and integrate holistically rather than isolate risk (Horn of Africa) Reconcile condradictory policy recommendations and move from crisis management to risk reduction – move from regular financial ”emergency” assistance to measures supporting on-farm management of risks – shift in culture (Australia, Namibia, Horn of Africa, Mexico) Allignment of different levels of government to a risk management plan (Uganda, Mexico) Seize opportunities of awareness to strengthen Drought Risk Reduction (Horn of Africa, Central America) Political commitment, high-level engagement, clear responsibilities at central and local level (Mexico) Some, limited resources needed to start and drive the process with the awareness that benefits outweigh the costs Focus on implementation – enforcement and early action (Horn of Africa, West Africa) Translation of plans into budgetary processes Adequate government and community ownership difficult with slow-onset, invisible issues
- 6. Political commitment, high-level engagement, clear responsibilities at central and local level High- Level Engagement: IGAD Drought Disaster Resilience and Sustainability Initiative (IDDRSI): - High-level political commitment following drought in 2010 - Challenges to involve stakeholders outside government - Strengthen of water resources management - Ensure that prevention, preparedness and mitigation efforts are owned at local level as well as national level
- 7. A multi-stakeholder platform with active participation of all levels of society Effective decentralization Active community participation in planning, decision making and implementation essential to move from policy to practice Horizontal Integration: bring together partners from different disciplines and sectors to find solutions (sectoral approaches from the past are limited in reducing drought impacts). Inclusive platform to highlight approaches to Integrated Drought Management of its partners, with a spirit that more can be achieved working together Drawing on the principles of Integrated Water Resources Management Vertical Integration: Connects and exchanges experiences among the global, regional, national and local level. Currently 3028 partners, participating through 13 Regional and 86 Country Water Partnerships
- 8. Drought monitoring, early warning and risk assessment Key components of South Asia Drought Monitoring System: • Feedback loop between providers and users of information • Use both remote sensing and ground truth data with a view to Integrate Seasonal Forecast (South Asia Climate Outlook Forum • Clear focal point at national and regional level coupled with multi-stakeholder platform to ensure uptake Assessment of drought in Central America: • Identify direct impacts and secondary impacts ”Dont’t Waste the Drought” – drought as an opportunity to reimagine the management and use of water

- 10. Conclusions • An integrated approach to drought management, with strong technical basis but in which different disciplines and sectors join to find solutions • Connect and exchange experiences among the global, regional, national and local level • Use multi-stakeholder platforms at the global and national level • Highlight successful cases of integration & benefits of actions • Wealth of knowledge exist - close gaps in knowledge and in communicating apply existing knowledge
