Abstract
This National Strategy for Reducing the Effects of Drought, Preventing and Combating Land Degradation and Desertification in the Short, Medium and Long Term states objectives include integrating and harmonizing this policy document with other relevant strategies, programs, and development plans, particularly those related to climate change and water resource management. The broader legal context emphasizes the need for a favorable legal and institutional framework to support the implementation of the proposed measures, highlighting principles of decentralization and subsidiarity in public administration.
The general goal of the National Strategy to mitigate the effects of drought and combat land degradation and desertification is to indicate the actions to be taken in the short, medium and long term, to reduce the vulnerability of local communities, natural ecosystems and socio-economic activities and to mitigate their social, economic and environmental effects.
The document outlines several key measures and action plans aimed at addressing drought and land degradation. These include prioritizing sectoral measures over short (up to 5 years), medium (5,15 years), and long-term horizons, as well as identifying responsibilities, timelines, funding sources, and monitoring methods for the implementation of the Strategy. It emphasizes the importance of legislative initiatives and the need for amending and promoting new relevant normative acts. The Strategy also stresses the necessity of ensuring that proposed actions align with existing budgetary allocations and the attraction of new funding sources, particularly from EU structural funds.
The implementation plan includes a structured approach with clear responsibilities assigned to various institutions and organizations involved in the strategy's execution. It specifies the need for a transparent framework for monitoring and evaluating the progress of the actions taken. Secondary themes include the importance of stakeholder involvement, particularly local communities, in the Strategy's development and implementation, as well as the cyclical nature of policy formulation, which necessitates periodic reviews based on progress made.
