Japan-Pakistan Flood Management Deal
A signing ceremony for the exchange of notes and record of discussion between the governments of Japan and Pakistan was held in Islamabad today.
The project is aimed at improving the accuracy of flood forecasts and flood control functions, accumulating basic data that contribute to disaster risk reduction measures, and reducing the risk of loss to humans and the economy including infrastructure.
The project titled “Flood Management Enhancement in the Indus Basin” will be materialized through the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).
The scope of the project is to develop a hydrological and hydraulic observation network besides rehabilitating the river structures damaged by the 2022 flood in Indus River and its tributaries.
The project will also contribute to the capacity building of flood management institutions, thereby contributing to future flood risk reduction.
Secretary Ministry of Economic Affairs Dr. Kazim Niaz and Ambassador of Japan to Pakistan Wada Mitsuhiro signed the documents on behalf of their respective governments.
