The project aims at strengthening the institutional, legal and technical capacity of key institutions with a primary focus on Turkmenhydromet. It works through Turkmenhydromet to establish a better understanding of climate risk and information requirements among key institutions such as the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Water Management and the General Department on Emergencies.
The project focuses on improving the provision of Climate Risk Management (CRM) information to vulnerable livestock and agricultural communities with pilot assessments undertaken in 3 typical climatic zones (Nohur, Yerbent, Mary). Potential financing structures for providing climate risk information will be reviewed. Long range climate modeling capacity will be developed, and linkages between Turkmenhydromet and the Ministry of Nature Protection/UNFCCC focal point strengthened. Support will be provided to improving national level communication of climate risks through the media. A national CRM network will be established, a national CRM profile developed, and best practice disseminated at both a national and local level.
The project will help increase resilience of agricultural and livestock communities through more effective CRM assessment and risk information provision and address above barriers by three components:
