17 ► Consolidation of Recommendations/Drought Management Plan of  The Workshop ► identified six priority gaps ► Selected sixteen best-practice based solutions ► Recommended nineteen action plan steps for submission to the AWGWRM RIEE-Droughts 22-23 Sep 2010 Session 6 23 Sep 2010

18 RIEE-Droughts 22-23 Sep 2010 Session 6 23 Sep 2010 ► Recommended nineteen action plan steps for submission to the AWGWRM Descriptions of gapsSolutions to gapsSuggested Action Steps for gaps 1. Technical Gap - Data Availability and Access: Lack of real time, updated and complete data within wider geographical coverage to allow for research and analysis to enable evaluation and forecasting assess risks and impacts to plan responses for better drought management. 1. Formation of an expert group within ASEAN to determine specific data gaps (level of urgency 1. Develop guidelines and analytical tools using computer/manual based system 2. Define the drought prone area at the local and regional level 3. Establish an independent body to assess the quality of drought management 2. Establishment of a regional ASEAN Climate Change Center that will, among others, support AMS in drought forecasting 1. Develop technical and financial proposal for the establishment of the Centre 3. Establish expanded automatic weather data collection stations at the country level 1. Develop technical and financial proposal for the expansion of the hydro- meteorological station network 4. Develop a comprehensive GIS system related to integrated water resource management 1. Establish linkages to access satellite imagery of main drought indicators i.e., AMS, NASA, NOAA, USDA and other existing data sources 2. Establish data collection and analysis system on climate variability (drought risk and adaptation) 5. Make extensive use and dissemination of the data of MRC and Asian Disaster Preparedness Center 1. Establish a cooperation regarding the use of data between AMS (on a voluntary basis) with MRC and ADPC

19 RIEE-Droughts 22-23 Sep 2010 Session 6 23 Sep 2010 ► Recommended nineteen action plan steps for submission to the AWGWRM Descriptions of gapsSolutions to gapsSuggested Action Steps for gaps 2. Technical Gap - Capacity Building: Need capacity building and development (additional and/or augmented) for monitoring and forecasting of drought events for evaluation and assessment of risks and impacts. 1. Improving manpower skills and expanding knowledge sharing among AMS in drought analyses, mitigation and adaptation 1. Conduct inter-ASEAN and other country visits to exchange experiences in drought management and forecasting 2. Training need assessment for specific stakeholders for drought management and monitoring, including TOT and share expertise 2. Acquisition of equipment for computer modeling of drought forecasting and analysis 1. Individual country to undertake acquisition of equipment and software 3. AMS would develop training programmes focusing on packaging proposals related to climate change capacity building such as drought related activities 1. The development of the TOR on project packaging seminar

20 RIEE-Droughts 22-23 Sep 2010 Session 6 23 Sep 2010 ► Recommended nineteen action plan steps for submission to the AWGWRM Descriptions of gapsSolutions to gapsSuggested Action Steps for gaps 3. Financial Gap - Budget: Lack or limitations of government budget commitment for research and in-depth analyses of all aspects related to drought and the management of risks and impacts. 1. Raise resources e.g., financial resources for training, workshop and cross visits 1. Seek support from more financially capable partners/ countries to support drought management programmes in drought prone AMS 2. Mainstream climate change, including flood and drought programmes to the national development plan and annual budget, including roadmap and national action plan 1. Integrate climate change adaptation and mitigation measures related to drought into national plans and budget 3. Technical assistance for the development of comprehensive drought management plan for AMS, including risk assessment and adaptation programmes 1. Leverage assistance by setting up technical partnership for drought management with the relevant partners 4. Financial Gap - Operations and Maintenance: Lack of clear budget allocation policy to operate and maintain existing data acquisition and communications networks, and the monitoring and analysis systems related infrastructure. 1. Conduct a timely budget needs assessment and requisition analysis to prepare an appropriate budget proposal drought management plan. 1. Budget needs assessment and requisition analysis 2. Develop regional “perspectives, guide and manual” on budget formulation, allocation and analysis for drought, risk, impacts and adaptation management planning (DRMP) 1. Workshop to develop and draft “perspectives, guidelines and manual” on budget formulation, allocation and analysis for DRMP

21 RIEE-Droughts 22-23 Sep 2010 Session 6 23 Sep 2010 ► Recommended nineteen action plan steps for submission to the AWGWRM Descriptions of gapsSolutions to gapsSuggested Action Steps for gaps 5. Awareness and Stakeholders’ Involvement: Lack of drought management related information, knowledge sharing and dissemination to stakeholders at all levels. 1. Establish a regional/national multimedia drought information centre. 1. To be included in the technical and financial proposal for the establishment of the ASEAN Climate Change Centre (GAP 1) 2. Develop information sharing and dissemination networks related to drought management and adaptation including AMS’ knowledge bases/hubs and expertise within and outside ASEAN. 1. Develop concept paper followed by TOR for the network 6. Awareness and Stakeholders’ Involvement: Lack of coordinated strategy, policy and guidelines on drought management as part of IWRM (including policy and pricing mechanism for water conservation). 1. Establish/strengthen a drought management unit/agency (e.g. within the regional/national/ responsible key authority for water resources management) to formulate a coordinated policy, strategy, guidelines and action plans related to Drought, Risk, impacts and adaptation Management Planning (DRMP) and issues related to integrated water resources management (IWRM).  Include water conservation policy, strategy and pricing mechanism in developing the DRMP policy guidelines and action plans Seek support from partner agencies to assist in the preparation of all aspects of DRMP and IWRM

22 ► The procedural process post workshop was also discussed, with the final understanding that  the results of the gap identification, solutions, and action step deliberations would be passed to the ASEAN Secretariat as the Consolidated and Recommended Action Plan,  and then by the Secretariat onward to the Chair of the AWGWRM for the AWGWRM’s review, comment, and possible upward endorsement to the ASEAN Senior Officials on the Environment.
