JAPAN INTERNATIONAL COOPERATION SYSTEMSCHEME Program Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change
Program Grant Aid for Environment and Climate Change is a new grant aid establishedin fiscal year 2008, aiming to aggressively cooperate in developing countries’ efforts toreduce greenhouse gas emissions, and also to support developing countries thatreceive serious damage from climate change. The target recipients of this support aredeveloping countries that intend to contribute to climate stabilization yet do not havesufficient execution ability and funds to realize both emission reduction and economicgrowth, as well as countries that are vulnerable to negative effects of climate change,such as drought and desertification. The main fields of this support include solar
energy generation, flood management, forest protection, geothermal power
generation, and waste control.

JICS’ Role
After the exchange of notes for theproject concerned is signed between
the Japanese government and thegovernment of the developing country
concerned, JICS concludes a contractof procurement agent services withthe developing country’s government.
Based on this contract, JICS properly
manages the provided fund, procuresmaterials and equipment, procuresservices such as a consultant and aconstruction company, and manages
the entire project as the procurement
agent.

The Programme for Community-Based Flood Disaster Management toAdapt to Climate Change in the Nyando River Basin (Kenya) FY 2009
Project outline:
Establishment of flood disaster management facilities such as wells, shelters, culverts, footbridges, and weirs, according to t
herespective needs of 24 villages in Nyando district and Kisumu district; and implementation of training for organizing residents

Establishment of flood disaster management facilities in 24 villages
In the Nyando River basin in the Nyanza Province of western Kenya, large-scale floods, which areconsidered to be caused by climate change, occur every rainy season and become a major factor
that hinders the region’s economic growth and poverty reduction.
As such, the Japanese government decided to provide support based on the Program Grant Aidfor Environment and Climate Change, in response to the Kenya government’s request. On May 19,
2009, the Japanese government exchanged notes with the Kenya government regarding theProgramme for Community-Based Flood Disaster Management to Adapt to Climate Change in the
Nyando River Basin.
This project targets 24 villages in the Nyando and Kisumu districts, and aims to establish flood
disaster management facilities, such as wells, shelters, culverts (drains crossing under roads),
footbridges, and weirs, according to the respective needs of the villages. In addition, the project
aims to establish community-based flood management organizations and conduct flood control
training, disaster prevention education, and educational activities using posters and radio
broadcasting. Regarding this project, JICS concluded a procurement agent contract with theMinistry of Water and Irrigation of the Republic of Kenya on June 3, 2009, and it manages the entire
project, including procurement of necessary services such as conclusion of facility construction
contracts and fund management.

people cannot pass due to flooding, so a culvert
will be built to secure an evacuation route.
