Project metrics

Outcome 1:

Strengthened technical capacity of municipal and village authorities to improve flood early warning systems and dissemination of climate-related risk information.

Indicators:

Technical and institutional capacity of municipal and village authorities, Mali-Météo, DNH and DGPC to effectively manage flood risks [adapted from AMAT Indicator 10].
By the end of the project, 1,200,000 people have access to improved flood EWS (50% of whom are women).
Number of people (% of whom are women) with access to improved flood EWS [adapted from AMAT 8].
Number of commune-specific Flood Risk Reduction Plans (FRRPs) developed in a participatory manner with local communities [adapted from AMAT 13].
Number of Economic, Social and Cultural Development Programme (PDESC) revised to include short- to medium-term flood risks [adapted from AMAT 13].
Number of km of riparian areas revegetated with climate-resilient species.
Number of km of stormwater drains constructed and rehabilitated to decreased flood risks [adapted from AMAT 2].
Outcome 2:

Effective flood risk management mainstreamed into the relevant development planning policies and budgetary processes to increase the resilience of local communities.
Outcome 3:

Climate-resilient flood risk management and reduction techniques transferred to local communities within the targeted communes to decrease their vulnerability.
