Background |
||||||||||
The Adaptation Fund (AF)/UNDP Integrated climate-resilient transboundary flood risk management in the Drin River basin in the Western Balkans (Albania, Montenegro and North Macedonia) Project (Drin FRM Project) aims to assist the riparian countries in the implementation of an integrated climate-resilient river basin flood risk management approach in order to improve their existing capacity to manage flood risk at regional, national and local levels and to enhance resilience of vulnerable communities in the Drin River Basin (DRB) to climate-induced floods. The following results shall be achieved: (i) Improved climate and risk informed decision-making, availability and use of climate risk information;(ii) Improved institutional arrangements, legislative and policy framework for climate-resilient flood risk management (FRM), and development of climate change adaptation (CCA) and FRM strategy and plans at the basin, sub-basin, national and sub-national levels; (iii) Strengthened community resilience through improved flood management, through implementation of structural and non-structural measures and enhanced local capacity for CCA and FRM. Outcome 3: Strengthened resilience of local communities through improved flood forecasting and early warning, implementation of structural and non-structural measures and the strengthened capacity for CCA and FRM at the local level will be achieved, among other measures, by construction of structural flood risk reduction measures in prioritized areas. In Montenegro, the priority area is Bojana River watershed that is already protected with the dykes system. In order to proceed with the civil works under Drin FRM Project, Main Design for Reconstruction of Embankments on right bank of Bojana River was completed. The Main Design represents comprehensive analytical and technical document/plan for upgrade, rehabilitation and expanding of the infrastructure for flood defense. Main Design recognizes 5 embankment sections along Bojana River and Vladimir Creek as its key tributary. Current state of the embankments is at moderate satisfactory level, however it is necessary to scale up the system to its full functionality, accompanied with proper safeguards and operation and maintenance plan. Taking into account bordering nature of Bojana/Buna River between Montenegro and Albania, official communication and coordinated efforts are expected from both riparins in order to manage flood risks in sustainable and long-term manner. Drin FRM Project will finance the execution of the civil works at the most critical/priority sections of the current dykes system.
