Water Supply and Sanitation Investment

The project development objective (PDO) is to improve access to safely managed water supply services in selected districts; and to s trengthen the capacity of institutions in the water supply and sanitation sector for improved service delivery.
The aim of the project is to provide essential water supply services in the selected rural and peri-urban areas of south-western Khatlon region, considering the expected impacts of changes in precipitation patterns and other relevant climate factors on the targeted project areas. In this way, the project intends to make the targeted communities more resilient to the climate change-exacerbated risk of floods, droughts, and rising temperatures.
The project consists of four components: Component 1 will finance a range of activities targeting
ISCB of water sector institutions at national, regional, and local levels to ensure sustainable service provision in the project area. Component 2 will finance implementation of WSS infrastructure solutions that will be simple and robust, include climate resilience measures, and will be structured along two parts: Subcomponent 2A will support water infrastructure investments and Subcomponent 2B will target upgrade of WASH facilities in social institutions. Component 3 will support project management and Monitoring, and Component 4 is a CERC. The components are designed to maximize climate change adaptation measures.

Green Central Asia: Transboundary dialogue on climate, environment and security in Central Asia and Afghanistan

The Green Central Asia Regional Programme aims at improving access to information and risk analyses in order to enable participating countries to assess the impact of climate change more accurately and to take preventive measures. At the same time, dialogue fora and workshops are meant to increase states´ resilience and decision-makers’ ability to adequately address security hazards resulting from climate change at national and regional level.
It promotes conflict prevention and trans-boundary cooperation. Support is also provided to develop the capacity of partner institutions in the field of environmental management.

Climate Risk Manageent

The project aims to strengthen institutional capacity and cross-border cooperation among Central Asian countries. The programme contributes to the nationally-agreed Sustainable Development Goals on climate change adaptation (SDG 13) and peace and security (SDG 16).
The project advises watershed associations, a regional disaster management centre and stakeholders from individual watershed councils to develop capacity for transboundary water-related climate risk reduction.
It is planned that together with the Green Central Asia project, the module will support the Executive Committee of the International Fund for Saving the Aral Sea (EC IFAS) in relation to transboundary water management in the light of climate change. The high level policy dialogue processes organised by Green Central Asia are supported by the project through national and regional policy dialogue projects and thus a regional agenda is achieved to identify common approaches (output level).
