The objective of the Disaster Risk Management and Urban Development Project for the Republic of Niger is to improve the country's resilience to natural hazards.
The Government of Niger recognizes the importance of holistic land and water resource management to improve local population’s resilience to drought and flood. To this end, the Community Action Project for Climate Resilience project was established with World Bank support. It aims to achieve this by mainstreaming climate resilience into development strategies at national and local levels, and by integrating climate resilience practices into agro-sylvo-pastoral systems and local populations’ social protection measures.
