WMO/GWP Integrated Drought
Management Programme (IDMP)www.droughtmanagement.info
WMO/GWP IDMP Approach
1. To shift the focus from reactive to proactive
measures through drought mitigation, vulnerability
reduction and preparedness;
2. To integrate the vertical planning and decision
making processes at regional, national and
community levels into a multi-stakeholder
approach including key sectors, especially
agriculture and energy;
3. To promote the evolution of the drought knowledge
base and to establish a mechanism for sharing
knowledge and providing services to stakeholders
across sectors at all levels;
4. To build capacity of various stakeholders at different
levels.

• helping countries to improve national
drought monitoring and management
policies (DMP) – to increase preparedness
and reducing drought impacts;
Challenges ...
• raising awareness about severe drought conditions through
efficient dissemination mechanisms;
• combining / joining already existing drought platforms for
exchanging drought data, relevant for drought detection
and monitoring;
• demonstrating concrete measures that can be later used in
drought management policies in different sectors;
• sharing knowledge and best practices among countries.
1. INCEPTION PHASE:
• Task Force
• Inception report & Regional workshop (Oct 2012)
2. Preparation of a Regional Programme proposal (Nov 2012 –
Jan 2013)
• More then 40 organizations actively involved
• Official start in February 2013
3. PLANNING PHASE (March 2013 – June 2013):
• Partnership: activity leaders, activity working groups
• Budget: detailed budget, budget flow, contracting
• Workplan: detailed description of each activity,
implementation plans, milestones, etc.
