Climate Risk Management in Central Asia

What we are doing
Implementation Period
  • Implementation Period: 2023 - 2024
  • Donor organization: Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ)
  • Geographical location: Chuy oblast, Kemin district, Batken oblast, Kadamzhai district, Kyrgyzstan
The objective of the project is to improve cross-border climate and disaster risk management in Central Asia. The project consults watershed associations, the regional Centre for Emergency Situations and Disaster Risk Reduction, and stakeholders from selected watershed councils to develop capacity to reduce transboundary water-related climate risks. This anchoring is to be achieved by strengthening the framework conditions as well as competence development measures of actors at different levels, while annually implementing number of measures agreed among Central Asian countries. The capacities of the partner organizations and the competencies of key actors are strengthened through the direct implementation of activities on agreed transboundary watersheds.
