The N’Djamena Urban Resilience Project aims to reduce flood risk and strengthen climate-resilient urban planning and flood-related services in N’Djamena. The project implements green and gray infrastructure measures, including rain gardens, green corridors, and rehabilitation of urban wetlands to mitigate flood risks and enhance urban resilience. Key components focus on flood protection, climate-resilient urban planning, and community disaster preparedness.

The Msimbazi Basin Development Project aims to strengthen flood resilience and integrated urban development in the Msimbazi River Basin in Dar es Salaam. The project focuses on flood control, urban redevelopment, resettlement of vulnerable communities, institutional strengthening for basin management, and providing rapid response to emergencies. Key activities include hydraulic improvements, erosion control, resilient infrastructure, and watershed management.

The Metro Manila Flood Management Project aims to improve flood management in selected areas of Metro Manila. Key components include modernizing drainage systems, minimizing solid waste in waterways, supporting participatory housing and resettlement, and enhancing project management and coordination. These efforts focus on reducing flood risks and improving living conditions in flood-prone areas.

The Maputo Urban Transformation Project aims to strengthen urban management, promote sustainable economic growth, and enhance resilience in Maputo municipality. Key components include infrastructure upgrades, improved drainage systems, and capacity building for urban planning.

The Shire River Basin Management Program (Phase-I) Project aims to develop a planning framework to improve land and water management for ecosystem and livelihood benefits in target areas. The project includes Shire Basin planning, catchment management to reduce erosion and improve livelihoods, and water-related infrastructure investments to regulate Shire flows and enhance climate resilience. These efforts support disaster risk management through watershed rehabilitation and improved management.

The Malawi Resilience and Disaster Risk Management Project aims to strengthen disaster risk management (DRM) systems, build resilience among vulnerable communities, and support disaster preparedness and recovery efforts. Key components include resilient infrastructure, risk reduction initiatives, and capacity building to enhance disaster response effectiveness.

The Ma'anshan Cihu River Basin Improvement Project in China aims to improve drainage and flood protection capacity in urban areas of Ma'anshan municipality. Key components include river rehabilitation, drainage improvement, restoration of natural storm drainage, water quality monitoring, and capacity building for project implementation and management.

The Shire Valley Transformation Program aims to increase agricultural productivity and commercialization for targeted households in the Shire Valley and to improve the sustainable management and utilization of natural resources. The project development objectives (PDO) are to provide access to reliable gravity-fed irrigation and drainage services, secure land tenure for smallholder farmers, and strengthen management of wetlands and protected areas. Additionally, the project will develop and improve wetland management.

Investments will include a variety of green infrastructure measures, sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices, and livelihoods diversification. Green infrastructure will be designed in conjunction with gray infrastructure to optimize the functionality, cost-effectiveness, and resilience of the integrated natural and built system.

The project will support watershed management planning and watershed restoration to reduce risk of landslide and floods.
