International Water Management Institute (IWMI) is a scientific research organization working on the sustainable use of water and land resources in developing countries. IWMI aims to provide evidence-based solutions to sustainably manage water and land resources for food security, people’s livelihood and the environment. Based on various resources such as world water and climate atlas or drought monitoring systems, this Institute helps developing countries to adopt a more effective drought management through integration of policies, technologies and management systems. The IWMI, GWP and WMO are collaborating in the framework of the IDMP on the South Asia Drought Monitoring System.
