The composite drought indicator (CDI) supports operational drought management decision making in Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco and Tunisia.

The MENAdrought project is a partnership between IWMI, Nebraska Drought Mitigation Centre, Daugherty Water for Food Global Institute, John Hopkins University, and the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, supported by USAID.

IWMI plays a pivotal role in addressing groundwater management challenges across the Middle East.

Youssef Brouziyne explained that this is the fourth dry year in a row and pointed out studies suggest more regular droughts in the country.

The Government of Jordan is strengthening its drought resilience with the support of the USAID-funded IWMI-led MENADrought project.

During COP26 and beyond, IWMI will continue to advance a wide range of water-focused climate solutions and develop a diverse set technical, policy, and financial tools.

It is so important to harness the power of international cooperation to reduce risk and losses from disasters.

Many of the threats the world faces involve water, but so do the climate solutions we need to restore our planet.

The hope is that the technology will be routinely used across MENA in drought management, helping to strengthen resilience to climate change, promote accountability and transparency, and inform scarcity management in arid watersheds.

IWMI is launching an AI-powered seasonal rainfall forecasting tool, developed in partnership with Johns Hopkins University and funded by USAID.
