Project:
To develop the National Drought Policy for Solomon Island.
Client:
World Meteorological Organizations (WMO)
Participants:
Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster and Meteorology (MECCDM) including Solomon Islands Meteorological Services (SIMS), Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock, National Disaster Management Office, Climate Change Division, Water Authority, Ministry of Health Sanitation and Hygiene program, Ministry of Fisheries, Ministry of Women, Youth and Children Affairs. WMO and International Federation of Red Cross, SPREP.
Timeframe:
2016-2017
What the project involved:
The development of the National Drought Policy for Solomon Islands (NDPSI) was guided by the Integrated Drought Management Programme (IDMP). The IDMP is a joint initiative between WMO and the Global Water Program which provides best practice guidelines on drought monitoring/early warning, prediction and information delivery.
PSS undertook an analysis of all international, regional and national strategies and plans that were relevant to forming the NDPSI. A four-day stakeholder consultation workshop was facilitated by PSS to gather information to identify the types droughts that occur in Solomon Islands. The past and potential impacts of droughts, what climate information is need and when it is needed in order to prepare and respond to a drought. This process led to the development of a drought monitoring policy for SIMS based on rainfall in Solomon Islands and identifying ways to strengthen institutional capacity to coordinate and respond to a drought.
