Program objective
The Program aims to build local capability and empower regional communities to plan and act early to reduce and respond to drought risks.
The Program is designed to support the development of regional drought plans which will consider:
- growing the self-reliance and drought resilience of regional communities including the agricultural sector
- improving natural capital of agricultural landscapes for better environmental outcomes
- strengthening the wellbeing and social capital of rural, regional and remote communities.
It will enable eligible consortia to better prepare for, respond to, and recover from drought. The program will provide funding for consortia to:
- Phase 1: Develop a Regional Drought Resilience Plan following a partnership and co-design process with communities, and
- Phase 2: Begin implementation activities identified within the approved Regional Drought Resilience Plan with seed funding for approved activities
The RDRP Program Pilot Implementation Grant supports delivery of Phase 2.
Please refer to the Program Guidelines.
