FrançaisThe Project Preparatory Technical Assistance (PPTA) will identify the most vulnerable communities in the Pyanj River Basin, and for each jamoat (sub-district) select and design physical and non-physical adaptation measures to reduce the adverse effects of climate change on water resources. Potential adaptation measures in the Pyanj river basin have already been identified in a climate change risk assessment carried out under the Pilot Program for Climate Resilience with ADB support (TA-7599:TAJ1) and extensive consultations with line ministries, international organizations, civil society, local governments, jamoats and community-based organizations in the Pyanj River Basin. Infrastructure needs included rehabilitation or construction of climate-proofed infrastructure for: (i) small scale irrigation systems and drainage, including water storage and discharge and other drought management measures; (ii) supply of drinking water; and (iii) flood and mudflows management, including small-scale riverine embankments, soil stabilization and reforestation. Other measures identified include: (i) early warning systems for floods and droughts; (ii) micro-finance to support the introduction of adaptation measures at the farm and household level, especially for women; (iv) index-based micro-insurance as a climate change risk transfer mechanism and (v) advisory services to provide and disseminate information on climate change risks management practice and adaptation technologies.
Qualification: The International Project Economist should have at least 15 years experience working as an economist in development projects and financial specialist in developing countries with solid understanding of climate change economics.
