Disaster Hazard Mitigation Project (DHMP)

The global environmental objective of the project is to protect the integrity of the Mailuu-Suu ecosystem by addressing transboundary contamination of the Mailuu-Suu river and land degradation in the surrounding areas. In particular, the project will aim at keeping the transboundary pollution loads within the applicable standards, ensuring sustainable natural resources management to reduce the risk of landslides, and strengthening regional cooperation among neighboring countries to mitigate natural hazard risks. Through its co-financing with IDA, the project will also incorporate natural resources and environmental management into effective disaster management strategies for the Kyrgyz Republic.
