  1. Integrated Drought Management Program (IDMP): 3 key “pillars” of a National Drought Policy -A case of Ethiopia) 1. Monitoring & Early Warning System

  2. 2. Mitigation & Response Mitigation Vs Adaptation?? Structural or non-structural measures taken prior to the impact of a hazard event to minimize its effects (ACDRM, 2013) The process of adjustment to actual or expected climate and its effects (IPCC 2014) Resettlement VsResponse or Mitigation?? The provision of emergency services and public assistance during or immediately after a disaster Both Adaptation & resettlement can be part of the Mitigation. Apart from the structural measures, mitigation includes legal framework, land use planning, incentives, training &education, public awareness, public participation in the preparedness program, institutional building.

  3. 2. Mitigation & Response (Cont.) • What type of planning exists and at what scale?? • Planning at local, regional and national levels. Such mitigation and response plans need to be strengthened. • Other issues related to the Mitigation & Response • In many cases, there is a well EW but the response is weak. • For mitigation and response contingency planning is needed and the mitigation and response has to be connected with the early warning

  4. 3. Impact & Vulnerability Assessment

  5. 3. Impact & Vulnerability Assessment (Cont.) • The early warning & planning information should contribute to: • on identification and ranking of which area is sensitive for which type of hazard ( highlands, and special focus should be given to marginalized lowlands) • disaster risk reduction or risk treatment through: • Risk avoidance: relocation & land use regulation • Risk control: Supplementary (irrigation) • Risk transfer: Crop & livestock insurance • Risk Retention: self insurance

  6. Challenges: • Mainly top-down down information flow • Huge gap on weather and climate information between what is needed at the local level & what is produced at global or regional level • Recommendation: • The three key pillars to be effective, there should be a coordination of all stakeholders along the climate service value chain, which ranges from climate data acquisition and analysis, interpretation, communication, and use.
