Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The threat of flooding constitutes an important source of vulnerability in many areas of athe country. Floods cause loss of life and property, and damages result in a reduction in income-earning opportunities. Impacts are exacerbated by the inability of rural populations to afford personal, crop, and livestock insurance. Floods worsen the living standards of the poor, negate any progress in reducing poverty, and can cause the non-poor to fall into poverty. Without protection from endemic floodwaters, the whole rural asset base is at risk in certain areas. Floodwaters not only threaten settlements, but they leave layers of sediment over agricultural land seriously diminishing their productivity. For all of these reasons, the control and management of water resources is the critical factor underlying efforts to promote rural growth and raise rural incomes. The improved protection provided by the Project will not only secure existing assets but will allow further development in the knowledge that the risk to such development from flooding is minimal. Major floods occurred in the Greater Caucasus area in 1998, 1997, 1999, and 2002, which brought serious damages. Average annual damages from floods over the 1980-1990 period were estimated at $20 million, while the total area that was damaged by the floods was estimated at 1.2 million hectares. At present, the value of business assets at risk from flooding is about $3.7 billion. The State Program on Poverty Reduction and Economic Development, approved in February 2003, identified a number of priorities to help promote economic growth, create jobs, and reduce poverty. Particular importance is attached to creating jobs in the non-oil rural and agriculture sectors, which are considered promising. However, they need investment in physical infrastructure such as roads, irrigation systems, potable water supply, power supply, telecommunications, flood protection, and produce-marketing facilities. ADB's interim operational strategy is fully consistent with these priorities in its support for rural development and emphasis on physical infrastructure. |
