2. 3 main components of IDMP:
1. to support stakeholders at all levels to improve
national drought monitoring and management
policies (DMP) – to increase preparedness and
reducing drought impacts;
2. to demonstrate concrete measures (in demonstration
projects) that can be later used in drought
management policies
3. to provide capacity building and knowledge transfer
to water and other managers from drought affected
sectors in approaching drought management in
integrated manner

3. Why Capacity building & Knowledge
development in CEE?
1. Not traditionally „drought
region“
2. some countries already
have or are in the process
of developing DMPs:
• drought related EU
projects
• international
organizations &
platforms (DMCSEE,
EDO, EDC, ...)
3
to get attention of a policy
level; rise awareness about
severe drought conditions;
(CEE IDMP act. 7.2)
to share knowledge & good
practices (CEE IDMP act. 7.1,
7.2)
4. 4
3. Drought Management
Plans (WFD)
4. From reactive to
proactive approach
to prepare Guidelines with
stakeholders participation;
bottom-up approach (act. 6.1)
Interactive capacity building
trainings for key actors from
drought affected sectors (act.
6.2)
