Climate Resilient Brahmaputra Integrated Flood and Riverbank Erosion Risk Management Project in Assam

About this project

The project is estimated to cost $250.0 million. The project loan modality is selected because the project scope is fully defined and confined to specific geographic areas. Climate adaptation is envisaged to cost $172 million, of which ADB will finance 94.2%. Total climate adaptation cost and ADB's share will be refined during project preparation. The project will be aligned with the following impact: make Assam a disaster resilient state. It will combine structural and nonstructural measures in four high-priority flood- and erosion-prone areas to contribute to the broader stabilization of the river. It will (i) stabilize critical locations by providing integrated climate resilient riverbank erosion and flood protection infrastructure, which will recover lost floodplain and charland and enhance inland navigation; (ii) strengthen Assam's institutional capacity for effective climate and disaster resilient FRERM and improve decision-making for disaster prevention and asset maintenance; and (iii) improve livelihoods of the most vulnerable riparian population and increase their resilience to shocks via inclusive economic empowerment.
