Enhancing Climate Change Adaptation, Disaster Risk Management and Preparedness
• WFP attended the launching event on the preparation of Kyrgyzstan’s Nationally Determined Contribution (NDC) 3.0. WFP presented its approach for localised adaptation. WFP also attended the coordination meeting convened by the NDC Partnership to discuss opportunities for improved collaboration on NDC action, highlighting the progress on the first Green Climate Fund project in the country, as well as WFP’s parametric Climate Risk Insurance pilots recently portrayed in the IRFF publication.
• WFP and the Ministry of Emergency Situations (MES) shared the outcomes of their collaboration on the national disaster mitigation programme, "Special Preventive Liquidation Measures (SPLM)" in 2024. Through community development projects, WFP contributed to the implementation of 26 percent of the planned SPLM initiatives, constructing and rehabilitating 50 infrastructure assets aimed at disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation. These assets, including mudflow protection dams, drainage canals, and reinforced riverbanks, are designed to reduce and mitigate disaster risks in communities vulnerable to climateinduced hazards. The partners also conducted an analysis to improve the planning, monitoring, and implementation of SPLM projects and began preparations for 2025.
• To strengthen the Government's disaster preparedness and response capacities, WFP, supported by the Government of Switzerland, is facilitating the MES in piloting individual food kits tailored to meet the nutritional needs of people in remote mountainous areas during emergencies. With WFP's assistance, the Ministry developed and endorsed the composition of these kits, which include ready-to-eat commodities designed to sustain one person for up to ten days. WFP also facilitated the procurement of 300 kits to test and refine the food composition and prepositioning mechanism in 2025. A well-designed food kit can help maintain the nutritional status of populations affected by emergencies in remote and isolated regions.
