I think @cardiooo's answer is pretty good. Think of the word "drive", in this context, as synonymous with the words "push" or "effort" and it might be more easily understood.

PS: Another good synonym for "drive" as used in the example above is "measure" or even "measures".

The word drive in this context means a strong organized effort to accomplish a purpose. The words economy drive used together, therefore mean, efforts to reduce money spent.
