Living with Floods 2.0 In Mozambique, NLRC is supporting together with local partners and civil society organizations the identification of flood-related risks and the joint development of locally appropriate flood risk reduction measures in the city of Beira (e.g., cleaning storm drains). Vulnerable peri-urban communities in Beira, are dealing with recurring flood risks on a yearly basis. Unfortunately, due to climate change, flood risks and extreme weather events like cyclone Idai are an increasing reality in this low-laying, (peri-) urban area in Central Mozambique. The project, through local partners makes an effort to build community resilience and supporting communities to learn to ‘live with floods’. The project aims to strengthen community capacity in local (water-related) risk management and provide local partners and communities with the means and skills to identify, test, and validate local flood protection measures. As a door-opener, NLRC aims to help communities, local and global partners build partnerships and support viable approaches to water risk management, ensuring that flood-affected communities and local actors are at the center. Central to the approach is the creation of a platform for local stakeholders and communities to open dialogue, facilitate learning, and most importantly, initiate local flood risk reduction actions that are also supported by global actors. The platform is present in the local context, however more on a formal/city level Communities living within Beira (e.g. Munhave Matope) City of Beira, Mozambique
