Flood Resilience Assam (FRA)

AFNA is currently focused on supporting the immediate-term work to enable people in Assam to survive the floods by increasing the resilience of flood-impacted communities. This is needed until larger infrastructure changes are undertaken with full vigor to systematically reduce the flood levels in the Brahmaputra and other rivers in the region. Floods in these rivers are a regular annual event, and the level of destruction and loss of life that happen every year are huge. Examples of infrastructure changes that need to be taken to prevent such loss are more active erosion control and extensive dredging of river beds. In the meantime, AFNA continues to work with reputed NGO's in Assam who are doing the much needed grassroots work to help communities gain the necessary resilience to lead productive, healthy lives even with the annual floods.
