The document discusses the Drought Management Center for Southeast Europe (DMCSEE) and its activities, including operating a network of 13 countries in the region and organizing workshops and training. It also discusses platforms for exchanging drought-related data, such as the proposed IDMP data exchange platform, and provides examples like the U.S. Drought Monitor and the European Drought Observatory. Key lessons highlighted include the importance of monitoring drought onset, intensity and duration, and having a proactive management approach with defined indicators, thresholds, decision-making processes, and mitigation measures.

- 4. REPUBLIC OF SLOVENIA MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE AND THE ENVIRONMENT SLOVENIAN ENVIRONMENT AGENCY What is “platform” • An information architecture and an intelligent infrastructure that enables exchange of data, relevant for drought analysis, as well as continous automated sensing, monitoring and decision support for drought risk management operations. • Task: review existing platforms and make a proposal for an integration of IDMP products and data into one of them in order to design a common concept of capacity development and knowledge transfer.
