The United Nations Human Settlements Programme (UN-Habitat) Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (ROAP) is seeking proposals for Flood Resilience in Ulaanbaatar Ger-Areas (FRUGA) – Climate Change Adaptation through community-driven small-scale protective and basic services intervention – Identification of Implementation Partner (Executing Entity) for implementation of selected project components.
Objectives
- The main objective of the project is to enhance the climate change resilience of the seven most vulnerable Ger khoroo settlements focusing on flooding in Ulaanbaatar City by:
- Improving the knowledge on flood hazard and risk exposure and vulnerability for these areas
- Improving the resilience and adaptive capacity of the Ger settlements through a Community-Based approach (ie building social cohesion per Khoroo)
- Increasing resilience ger area physical infrastructure and services, supported by enhanced capacities of responsible district level and khoroo authorities.
- Strengthened institutional capacity to reduce risks and capture and replicate lessons and good practices
- The main component of the project will be the provision of flood resilient physical infrastructure and services, building on the priorities as communicated by the UB city authorities and Khoroo communities and evidence made available and supplemented with hazard and risk mapping and land use planning and delivered within the framework of enhanced capacities and awareness for resilience and risk reduction at Ger -district and community level.
Funding Information
- Estimated duration of project in calendar months: 6
- Maximum proposed value in US$: 53,000
Activities and Outputs
- Develop flood hazard map covering the entire city using the flood simulation model developed under the project. It will include the data collection and re-simulation of the model as required.
- Reflect the flood hazard map in the relevant development plans of the Ulaanbaatar city and target districts in addition to the land use plans
- Make the flood hazard map of the city accessible to the public by developing a mobile application to check the flood vulnerability of the certain areas
- The flood hazard map for the northern ger areas of Ulaanbaatar city was prepared under the FRUGA project in 2020.
- During the demonstration of the flood hazard map in light of the current and future land use plans, the project team was requested by the Municipality of Ulaanbaatar city (MUB) to extend the coverage of the flood hazard map covering the 6 central districts of Ulaanbaatar city as the land use and other development master plans for the city should have an identical provision at least for its 6 central districts
