The context

Climate change magnifies too much and too little water (TMTL) issues to the transboundary Koshi River Basin’s 40 million people. The Lower Koshi Basin especially experiences regular floods as well as chronic water scarcity and management issues that displace communities and damages crops and infrastructure.

It’s crucial to note that these challenges don’t affect everyone equally. Women, marginalized groups, people with disabilities, and children are disproportionately impacted. The HI-GRID project tackles this challenge by strengthening disaster preparedness and exploring alternative livelihoods.

HI-GRID uses a practical approach through a combination of building of capacity of target decision makers and scaling and testing of existing and new solutions to increase climate resilience in 28 municipalities within the Lower Koshi River Basin​. Our aim is to enhance disaster preparedness and climate resilience through capacity building and innovative solutions through a Gender Equality, Disability and Social Inclusion (GEDSI) lens.
