Prospective

The proposed project will support the GoT in addressing the multitude of water security related challenges facing the selected locations of Turkiye, while enhancing the livelihood security and resilience of local communities and institutional strength of the related institutions against the risks and impacts of climate-induced flooding and drought. Through the three components, the Project would adopt an integrated approach to achieve these targets. Based on the existing capacity of DSI and other stakeholders which will be enhanced through the Bank’s previous experience in flood and drought management, this project will (i) improve flood control infrastructure, (ii) improve Flood Forecasting, Monitoring and Warning Systems, (iii) enhance capacity and institutional structure, allowing for the coordination and integration of solutions among different government agencies as well as between government and local stakeholders. The project will also deploy integrated green and gray infrastructure solutions as both short-term and long-term responses to mitigate the risks of floods and drought.The proposed Project is aligned with the World Bank Group (WBG) Country Partnership Framework (CPF) for Turkiye for FY24-28 (Report No. CPF0000004). The overarching CPF goal is to support Turkiye to accelerate progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), address global challenges leveraging the strategic role Turkiye can plan regionally and globally, and continue recovery and reconstruction from recent shocks, in line with the Government of Turkiye’s 12th National Development Plan (NDP) for 2024-2028. The proposed Project is particularly well-aligned with the CPF Objective 7 Enhanced disaster resilience and preparedness and Objective 8: Strengthen natural resources management. The related indicator is Indicator 8.2: Area benefitting from reduced risks of floods and Flood monitoring and forecasting systems (Ha). The Project is also aligned with the Resilient and Net Zero Pathway outlined in the Turkiye CCDR. Among the six climate-specific priorities described in the Pathway, the Project will contribute to Priority 5: Make growth more resilient and sustainable.
