This Compendium is the final publication of the first phase of the IDMP Central and Eastern Europe (IDMP CEE) and provides an overview of the programme’s outputs and accomplishments achieved in the period from 2013 to 2015. The focus of IDMP CEE was to support policy makers through activities which incorporate drought management into their existing documents, especially their River Basin Management Plans. In order to observe how drought management plans are developed and made functional outside CEE, there is a collection of existing drought management plans (DMPs) added to the Compendium, together with some successfully implemented EU-funded projects, as additional good practices which CEE countries can learn from or use in preparation of their own DMPs.
