Countries Supported on Drought through Global Initiative

The Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP) – a joint initiative of GWP and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) – is providing targeted drought management support to 8 countries: Ethiopia, Sudan, Burkina Faso, Benin, Niger, Serbia, Macedonia, and Moldova as part of the UNCCD Drought Initiative.  The country-specific work is part of a wider collaboration between GWP and WMO, as well as the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) and others supporting the UNCCD Drought Initiative.

The targeted efforts are part of our work with 30+ partners in the IDMP to develop an integrated approach to drought management in Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Central and Eastern Europe, supported by and informing how drought is addressed globally.
