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. It was implemented through two subcomponents: (a) flood resilience awareness, communication, and community capacity building and (b) flood risk reduction community investments.
