Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Flood Resilience Project

pipeline

The operation aim to improve flood resilience in selected areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa through a mix of structural and non-structural measures and enhanced institutional capacity for disaster risk management. Infrastructure investments will include construction and rehabilitation of flood protection works—such as embankments, spurs, revetments, retaining walls, flood carrier channels, gabion works, and check dams—complemented by nature-based solutions (afforestation/reforestation, terracing, bio-engineering). The project will also establish a province-wide Flood Forecast and Warning System by expanding and harmonizing observation networks, upgrading modeling and data systems, and strengthening information-sharing protocols. Institutional and community preparedness will be enhanced by strengthening PDMA and Rescue 1122 through upgraded facilities, equipment, training, communication and dispatch systems, expanded rescue stations, improved early-warning dissemination, and community-based DRM.
