RESILAND CA+ Program: Kyrgyz Republic Resilient Landscape Restoration Project

The development objectives of the Resiland CA+ Program : Kyrgyz Republic Resilient Landscape Restoration Project for Kyrgyz Republic are: (i) to increase the area under sustainable landscape management in selected locations in the Kyrgyz Republic; and (ii) to promote Kyrgyz Republic’s collaboration with other Central Asian countries on transboundary landscape restoration. The project comprises of three components. The first component, strengthening institutions and regional collaboration has a national and regional focus, financing activities that enhance government capacity for forecasting, monitoring, and preparedness for reducing and mitigating impacts of natural and climate-induced disasters, thereby enhancing resilience of landscapes and their restoration and activities that improve regional awareness, capacity, and cooperation on transboundary resilience of landscapes. It consists of following sub-components: (i) strengthening institutions and climate-induced hazard monitoring capacity; (ii) information and communication technology (ICT) for disaster risk management in degraded landscapes; and (iii) strengthening regional collaboration. The second component, enhancing resilient landscapes and livelihoods will finance upstream and downstream nature-based, grey, green, and hybrid solutions for reducing the impact of mudflows on communities, landscapes, and infrastructure in the targeted transboundary areas. It consists of following sub-components: (i) landscape restoration through climate-resilient green solutions; and (ii) landscape restoration through climate-resilient nature-based and grey solutions. The third component, project management and coordination will finance the incremental operating costs and other eligible expenses associated with project implementation. The project will support NBS, green, grey, and hybrid interventions to mitigate mudflow risks.
