WMO/GWP IDMP Approach1. To shift the focus from reactive to proactive
measures through drought mitigation, vulnerability reduction and preparedness;
2. To integrate the vertical planning and decision making processes at regional, national and community levels into a multi-stakeholder approach including key sectors, especially agriculture and energy;
3. To promote the evolution of the drought knowledge base and to establish a mechanism for sharing knowledge and providing services to stakeholders across sectors at all levels;
4. To build capacity of various stakeholders at different levels.

Objective and Aims:
Objective: “To support stakeholders at all levels by providing policy and management guidance and by sharing scientific information, knowledge and best practices for Integrated Drought Management”
Aims:
1. Building climate resilience;
2. Reducing economic and social losses;
3. Cutting across sectoral, disciplinary, and institutional boundaries;
4. Responding to specific regional and national needs and requirements
5. Alleviating poverty in drought-affected regions
