Enhancing Resilience of Rural Communities to Flood and Drought-Related Climate Change and Disaster Risks in the Ba Catchment Area of Fiji

Enhancing Resilience of Rural Communities to Flood and Drought-Related Climate Change and Disaster Risks in the Ba Catchment Area of Fiji

The overall objective of the project is to replicate successful interventions in the Ba catchment and fully integrate climate change considerations in flood/drought risk management by not only generating and producing information, but also training and dissemination. Mitigation of flood damage remains the highest priority need in the area, particularly in light of projected increase in intensification of rainfall and storm events. Fiji lacks an integrated natural resource management plan that incorporates climate change, agriculture, flood, and drought risk simultaneously.Partners: Government of Fiji, Department of EnvironmentSector involved: Disaster Risk Management.
