Main challenges
Increase the capacity of the CEE
region to adapt to climatic
variability by enhancing resilience
to drought.
variability and change in
precipitation
increased frequency of extreme
weather events in the future
well developed meteorological
and hydrological monitoring but
not as a support for decision
makers
limited sharing of information
among countries
lack of political will to solve the
problem – drought was not
considered as a relevant issue

10 countries
40 organizations
 Universities
 Hydro-meteo services
 Research institutes
 Ministries & state
agencies
 River basins directorates
 Drought Management

Implementation of IDMP CEE
• June 2013 - June 2015
• one programme but different projects
• covering wide area, different sectors
• countries/regions needs, interests
• final results – good base for continuation

Main outputs
Guidelines for preparation of the Drought Management Plans within RBMP
Organization of the National Consultation Dialogues (20 in 2 years in 10 countries) –
acceptance at the policy level
 EU legislation + GWP/WMO
Guidelines
 cooperation with national
governments to help them to
incorporate drought management
issues into their national
programs, policies and plans
 current gaps in the
implementation of the EU Water
Framework Directive (WFD)

to provide and discuss national experiences and steps further
