In order to make drought management effective it is important to develop a Drought Management Plan (DMP). The DMP is planned to help reduce the time taken in mobilizing resources for an effective response and enable a harmonious relationship among stakeholders. The goal of DMP is to facilitate overall management of the drought situation in a structured and planned manner with the most efficient and optimum utilisation of time, effort, and resources so that adverse impact on the community is minimised.
DMP helps delineate roles and responsibilities of Government and different Ministries/ of Azerbaijan involved in drought management for mitigation, preparedness, and relief measures in managing drought. DMP ensures better preparation and timely communication among stakeholders, which is critical in managing a drought.
