In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) State whether the Government has an integrated drought management plan or framework for combating drought crisis and mitigating their socio-economic and environmental impacts and if there is one, the status of implementation of the same. (2) Explain whether the Government has any plans to roll out a national livestock off-take program to mitigate the huge losses suffered by livestock farmers as a result of the ongoing severe drought. (3) Spell out the immediate and long-term interventions put in place, by way of best practices in drought response, preparedness and mitigation, in order to build community resilience in drought prone areas."
