Main recommendations:
- Considering the number of initiatives on drought management already in place, IDMP shall seek to add value to existing activities by addressing gaps and contributing with a platform to share information in order to avoid duplication of efforts;
- IDMP shall work as a country demand-driven instrument that aims to respond to a need for improved drought management;
- Attention needs to be paid to also address the challenges of droughts faced at the basin level, which often goes beyond national boundaries; for this reason, it is important to link up to regional organizations;
- Involving partners shall be a two-way process, in which their contributions to IDMP as well as the contribution of IDMP to their activities reciprocally support each other. Areas where this mutual cooperation could happen are identified in demonstration projects and regional activities.
