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”
2. 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
