The development objective of the Flood Management Project for Ethiopia is to strengthen Ethiopia’s institutional capacity for disaster risk management (DRM), and flood risk management in selected basins. The project comprises of four components. The first component, strengthening institutional and coordination capacity for disaster risk management aims to improve the Government of Ethiopia (GoE) DRM by strengthening the institutional capacity of federal-level agencies (including priority sectors) and the coordination between federal and decentralized levels of the government.

The project aims to improve flood resilience and urban infrastructure in Greater Monrovia while enhancing urban planning and management capacity across Liberia. It focuses on flood risk management, resilient infrastructure, community upgrades, and effective solid waste management. A contingency component ensures response readiness to emergencies.

This project aims to reduce flooding impacts in Muang Xay and strengthen Lao PDR's disaster management capacity by enhancing hydrometeorological services, flood protection, and financial planning for disaster resilience. It also provides technical assistance for disaster risk management and includes a contingency mechanism for emergency response.

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.

This project improves infrastructure and urban planning in priority areas of participating cities. Investments include roads, sanitation, water supply, public facilities, and resettlement areas. The project also enhances urban resilience through technical assistance and integrated urban planning.

The Timor-Leste Branch Roads Project improves road access, safety, and climate resilience on the Gleno-Maubisse Corridor. Activities include slope stabilization, bioengineering measures such as tree planting, and infrastructure upgrades to reduce erosion and landslides and enhance disaster response capabilities.

The Sustainable and Inclusive Secondary Cities Project in Côte d’Ivoire aims to improve access to green and climate-resilient infrastructure and basic services while strengthening local government capacity for climate risk-informed urban and economic planning. The project supports investments in roads, water, sanitation, solid waste management, and social infrastructure to promote inclusive and sustainable urban development.

The Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project 2 aims to reduce flood risks in peri-urban Dakar and enhance urban flood risk planning and management in selected Senegalese cities. The project integrates climate risk and sustainability into urban planning and management, supports drainage investments, engages communities, and strengthens emergency response capacity.

The Saint-Louis Emergency Recovery and Resilience Project aims to reduce vulnerability to coastal hazards along the Langue de Barbarie and enhance resilience planning in Saint-Louis. The project includes relocation of populations in high-risk zones, coastal risk management plans, and hybrid coastal protection measures to address erosion and improve safety and urban planning.

The proposed revised development objective is to (i) improve the living conditions of host communities and refugees in selected areas, and (ii) enhance the social and economic integration of host communities and refugees. The project will plant trees alongside constructed roads to mitigate climate change impacts.
