DROUGHT INDICATOR EXPECTED RESULTS TEAM COMPOSITION
FOR SEBDOU REGION
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE
• Risk management for droughts is defined as the process of identifying and

understanding the relevant components of drought risk, and analyzing alternative
strategies to manage that risk,
• It is one of the major environmental disasters, which have been occurring in almost
all climatic zones and damage to the environment and economies of several
countries has been extensive and death toll of livestock unprecedented,
• Like many countries in Africa, Algeria has not been spared by the effects of
drought. Known for its arid and semi-arid climate, Algeria is increasingly facing
extreme climate events that have gradually increased its vulnerability.
BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE CNT..
The evaluation of probable risk arising out
of drought in the Sebdou region would help
in developing better management plan
to mitigating drought impacts.

OUR
CONSULTANCY
FIRM
OBJECTIVES
• Overall Objective
Support the development of drought monitoring tools and early warning using RS and
GIS (ArcGIS) to improve community resilience to drought in Sebdou region.
• Specific Objectives
1. Enhancing and reliable collection of meteorological data,

2. Enhancing drought monitoring and forecasting,
3. Disseminating effective, credible and reliable warning messages to enable
timely drought preparedness and response,
RESPONSIBILITIES AND TASKS
• Conduct a situational analysis on the occurrence of droughts and current and

ongoing initiatives on drought management adaptation and mitigation in the
municipality of Sebdou.
• Using a Remote Sensing and GIS tools, conduct impact assessments to
quantify how droughts affect specific areas, sectors, stakeholders and local
communities.
• Review the modelling frameworks and tools that are currently deployed within
the Sebdou region to mitigate drought impacts (inter-community/upstream-
downstream and local authorities warn, intra-community warning & response).
• Work closely with local communities, Water Authorities, National
Meteorological and Disaster Management Services, develop drought
management and Early Warning Tools in Sebdou region.
DROUGHT INDICATOR FOR SEBDOU REGION
Methodology
The approach to be employed by TE-DRMM consultancy services entail an

examination of historical events as well as current outcomes and processes. This will
involve analysis of all available historical datasets recorded during long-term
monitoring activities. Meteorological data e.g., precipitation, air temperature and
hydrological data as well as other indicators included:
• Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI)

• Standardized Precipitation Index (SPI)
• Soil Moisture Anomaly (SMA)
• Vegetation Condition Index (VCI)

EXPECTED RESULTS
• Availability of up-to-date climate information to inform decision making throughout the

drought cycle.
• Up-to-date and relevant information to share within the region (disaggregated and analysed on
gender issues).
• Improved drought risk decision-making and coordination of national efforts responding to

drought situations in the region.
• Availability of early warning information across different levels.
• Adequate awareness among community members (including women, boys and girls) on how
to react to warnings.
TENTATIVE WORK SCHEDULE
• Phase 1: Drought assessment
• Phase 2: Drought vulnerability identification
• Phase 3: Drought risk assessment
• Phase 4: Development of drought action plan
• Phase 5: Implementation and monitoring of the drought action plan
