Programme Overview:

Flooding poses a major global threat, with recent research revealing that over 20% of the world’s population lives in areas at risk of a 1-in-100-year flood. This danger is most acute for low-income households, and cause some of the largest economic, social and humanitarian losses.

The Zurich Flood Resilience Alliance (ZFRA) is a multi-sectorial partnership focusing on finding practical ways to help communities around the world, strengthen their resilience to flood risk. Concern Worldwide is working in collaboration with the ZFRA to improve the lives of communities affected by flooding in Bangladesh, Kenya, Malawi and South Sudan. The programme takes an innovative approach, allowing local community groups to find practical ways to strengthen their resilience to flood risk with technology and insights to monitor, predict and plan for the devastating effects and impacts of flooding before it occurs.
