Addressing Climate Vulnerability Tender

Supporting the Government of the Republic of the Marshall Islands RMI in adapting to increasing climate risks particularly more frequent and extreme droughts which impact the countrys drinking water supplyThe population and infrastructure of the Marshall Islands are concentrated in small low-lying islands and atolls which are highly susceptible to sea level rise changes in weather patterns and extreme weather events.This project will increase the resilience of water resources for drinking and hygiene in the Marshall Islands. Planned interventions include improving household and community rainwater harvesting and storage structures and securing groundwater resources from seawater intrusion. The project will also strengthen the technical capacities of national and subnational institutions and key stakeholders to integrate climate change risks into water governance processes.This project has an estimated lifespan of 7 years.
