Tajikistan is a mountainous and landlocked country with significant river systems. Because of its terrain and climate, it is highly exposed to the risk of flooding. Magnifying this risk are (i) the impacts of climate change, which have been shown by studies to likely result in more frequent and intense flood events; and (ii) the lack of adaptive capacity of Tajikistan that, as of project appr
