16. Horn of Africa-programme under development-9
countries
Overall objective:
promote an approach that
moves drought management
practices from reactive,
crisis management to more
proactive drought
management based on risk
management principles, and
based on the broader IWRM
18. IWRM as a tool for climate change adaptation in
CACENA

Program goal:
Help countries to
harmonise their
efforts on climate
change adaptation
using IWRM
approach
GWP Caucasus and Central Asia( CACENA)
19. CEE Program focuses on 8 local demonstration
projects with regional capacity development
component
Examples:
Improvement of water infrastructure in Armenia.
Disaster mitigation measures in the Sakire village in the
Borjomi region, Georgia.
Drought Risk Management in Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan,
Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan-
Expected that the water supply to the farm demonstration
plots will be reduced by 20-30%.
