reduced loss of urban infrastructure

The project will increase land productivity and strengthen climate resilience of fragile colline communities by restoring priority watersheds, scaling integrated landscape management, and supporting climate-resilient livelihoods. Core activities include enabling policies and institutions for climate risk management, adaptive watershed planning and restoration, climate‑smart agriculture and diversified livelihoods, and land certification to enhance tenure security, with a Contingent Emergency Response Component for shocks

This project aims to improve infrastructure access and connectivity while reducing flood risks in Vinh Long City's urban core. Key investments include drainage, flood protection, urban roads, resettlement areas, and geospatial platforms to enhance urban climate resilience.

The objective of the Stormwater Management and Urban Resilience Project for Benin is to reduce flood risks in selected areas of Cotonou and strengthen urban resilience management and capacity at the city level. There are three components to the project, the first component being storm water drainage investment and community engagement for flood risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The second component is the strengthening urban resilience management and capacity. Finally, the third component is the project management, monitoring and evaluation.

This component aimed at empowering municipalities, residents, and community groups to actively engage in urban flood risk reduction measures and adaptation to climate change through piloting the development and implementation of participatory urban community investments and an awareness raising and communication campaign. It supported the participation of community members in urban flood risk management and small-scale pilot investments aimed at the rehabilitation and maintenance of natural or artificial retention basins and/or urban wetlands allowing for natural runoff.
