September, 2014, between federal and regional partners (i.e., specifically MI,
ANA and FUNCEME), valid until December, 2015. (6) The MoU defines an
institutional arrangement for the DM, an operational structure, and transition
rules, with MI and ANA assuming key-roles in the governance (roles that are
currently being supported by the strongest regional leader of this partnership,
FUNCEME). The DM, as evidenced by the MoU, is also evidence of collaboration through established networks with defined governance rules, a milestone
designed for the Northeast Regional Drought Preparedness track. The DM has
been considered a concrete and tangible technological and institutional upgrade,
and to some extent, it is buffered from strong political influence and politicization. The GoB considers the DM the foundation upon which any future NDP
might be built.
• In mid-2014, halfway through the program, the MI requested additional assistance to the WB to evaluate the impacts and costs of the current drought across
the Northeast to support improvements in vulnerability/resilience and impact
assessment (progressing towards pillar 2 of the 3 drought preparedness pillars).
This represents another concrete step towards institutionalization of a paradigm
shift on drought management. (4)
