Drought is defined by the UN Convention to Combat Desertification (UNCCD) as a natural phenomenon in which rainfall falls below normal levels over a long period of time, causing severe water imbalances leading to damage to some production system , the main one being the agricultural sector. Notably in the Ceará, study area of this research, the drought is seen as a problem since the imperial period and the adopted strategies presented assistance and emergency character for many years. There was a paradigm shift in the 1980s when people already tired of periodic repetition of flagella by drought-friendly actions and began to organize themselves through social movements and organizations to create strategies that would reduce the vulnerability of the population to droughts . But for these strategies to work out, a management model is needed that integrates all the actors involved, that is, a good governance structure, since it is possible to articulate the various actors to solve common problems. Faced with this problem, the main objective of this research is to analyze governance in actions to coexist with drought in the state of Ceará. The methodological procedure involved the collection of primary data collected through questionnaires applied to entities that are active in the implementation of measures to coexist with drought and the leadership of rural communities. In addition, secondary data obtained from scientific and web journals were worked on. The main methods of analysis involved procedures of bibliometry, descriptive and inferential statistics, regression analysis and analysis of social networks. The most relevant results of the study highlighted a fragile governance structure in the environment where drought coexistence measures are implemented. There is a weak interaction between the agents involved in the thematic being worrying the low expressivity of the nongovernmental entities in this context. This low connection between the actors hinders the strengthening of governance principles. Such principles are also poorly perceived by farmers. The identified scenario is thus an obstacle to the success of the coexistence paradigm with drought in Ceará, since, as has been shown, the population's adaptive capacity is positively and significantly influenced by access to governance structures .
