IDMP Virtual platform

IDMP WA held its first regional meeting for the virtual platform on 28 March in Ouagadougou. Nine (9) participants representing CEDEAO/Water Resources Coordination Center, Volta Basin Authority, CILSS, 2ie, WASCAL and SP/GIRE attended the meeting.

The results achieved by IDMP in West Africa in 2017 were reminded and priority actions to be carried out by the end of the year were also declined. Among others, these actions are:

  • Making a high-level advocacy with the ECOWAS Environment Directorate in order to promote the technical guides on Integrated Drought Management into regional guidelines.
  • Synthesizing the adapted training manual on drought risk management in IWRM according to well-targeted themes and studying the possibility of including it in the curricula of some training institutions in the West African region.
  • Making a summary of the IDMP/WA process for the coming meeting and pleading for an adhesion of the represented structures to feed with the information concerning them for the virtual platform.
