Türkiye Flood and Drought Management Project

The objectives of the Flood and Drought Management Project are to increase flood control for people living in selected areas of Türkiye and to strengthen the country's institutional capacity for flood and drought risk management. There are four components to the project, the first component being Flood Management. This component includes two subcomponents: flood control, and flood monitoring, forecasting, and warning systems. The second component is the drought management. This Component will support DSI in drought monitoring and help reduce the vulnerability of population to climate change exacerbated drought in selected basins through implementation of non-structural measures under the following activities: technical study on drought monitoring in türkiye, and pilot for real-time drought monitoring and forecast in ceyhan basin, scaling-up the real-time monitoring and drought forecast system, and technical studies for designing larger-scale future investments for drought management. The third component is the capacity development and institutional strengthening. Finally, the fourth component is the project management. The project will implement hybrid solutions for flood risk reduction, including NBS such as wetlands, forests, and flood plains.
