The RDRP program supports regionally based partnerships to develop drought resilience plans. These plans will identify and guide innovative ways to withstand future droughts, with a focus on agriculture and allied industries. Regional plans are led and owned by the community, developed through a co-design process. The partnerships are made up of regional organisations, local government, communities, and industry groups.
