📋 Tender Overview
Project ID: P172562
Region: europe and central asia
The proposed project will support the GoT in addressing the multitude of environmental challenges facing the Bolaman Basin in the Ordu province, while enhancing the livelihood security and resilience of local communities against the risks and impacts of climate-induced landslides, flooding, and drought. The project will adopt an integrated landscape management approach at the sub-basin scale (Boloman) to achieve these objectives. This integrated approach can help address the interlinked problems in Bolaman and rebuild the resilience of the social-ecological system within the sub-basin. Building on GoT and the Bank’s previous experience in watershed management, this project will design a participatory planning process to take into account inputs from different stakeholder groups,allowing for the coordination and integration of solutions among different government agencies as well as between government and local stakeholders. Such participatory planning approach will contribute to bridging various stakeholders within the NRM sphere and improving institutional coordination. The project will also deploy integrated green and gray infrastructure solutions as both short-term and long-term responses to mitigate the risks of landslides, floods, and drought, and enhance climate resilience of the local populations and ecosystems. NBS in combination with sustainable and climate-smart agricultural practices will be designed based on sound technical, social, and financial analysis to achieve synergies between resources conservation and livelihood enhancement and ensure local stakeholders’ ownership and thus, the sustainability of project interventions. 15.The integrated NRM approach of the project will generate valuable lessons and innovative elements that can be applied to other basins with similar problems in Turkey and in other countries.To demonstrate and promote an integrated landscape approach to NRM, the project will also include a technical assistance and capacity building sub-component that will develop and employ planning tools at the landscape level to optimize the synergies and integration of interventions across the sub-basin and establish associated institutional structures. 16.Theory of Change and Projectdesign.The central problem statement the Project tries to address is that the degradation of natural resources and unsustainable land use, coupled with climate change, and the lack of appropriate infrastructures for landslide and flooding control, water and sanitation, and mobility are affecting the well-being and livelihoods of the local population in the Ordu province. The proposed operation will address these issues through six groups of interventions: (i) strengthening of institutional capacity for INRM; (ii)restoration of ecosystem functions and servi
