Need for a High Level Meeting on National
Drought Policy (HMNDP)
Despite the repeated
occurrences of droughts and the
large impacts on different socio-
economic sectors, no concerted
efforts have ever been made to
initiate a dialogue on the
formulation and adoption of
national drought policies.
World’s costliest
natural disaster,
incurring annually
US $6-8 billion
losses.

WMO/GWP IDMP Approach
1. 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.

Engaging Partners
• High interest at the global level IDMP
Advisory Committee attended by 15
organizations
• Interested Organizations can develop
Expression of Interest Letter between
WMO, GWP to define areas of cooperation
on IDM.
• On development of IDMP Help Desk, IDMP
will engage Support Based Partners (SBP)
• SBPs will Focus on technical area of
mutual interest

Outcomes WMO/GWP IDMP
The IDMP aims to add value and close the gaps with regard to:
•Better scientific understanding of, and inputs for, drought
management;
•Improved knowledge base, with better access to information and
products;
•Capacity for drought risk assessment, monitoring, prediction
and early warning;
•Improved policy and planning for drought preparedness and
mitigation across sectors; and
•Drought risk reduction and response.

Guidelines for National Drought Management
Policies and Preparedness Plans
• Prepared by Donald A. Wilhite, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, U.S.A.
Step 1: Appoint a national drought management policy commission
Step 2: State or define the goals and objectives of a risk-based national drought management policy
Step 3: Seek stakeholder participation; define and resolve conflicts between key water use sectors
Step 4: Inventory data and financial resources available and identify groups at risk
Step 5: Prepare/write the key tenets of a national drought management policy and preparedness
plans, which would include the following elements:Monitoring, early warning and prediction, Risk
and impact assessment, Mitigation and response
Step 6: Identify research needs and fill institutional gaps
Step 7: Integrate science and policy aspects of drought management
Step 8: Publicize the national drought management policy and preparedness plans and build public
awareness
Step 9: Develop educational programs for all age and stakeholder groups
Step 10: Evaluate and revise national drought management policy and supporting preparedness
plans
