Mercy Corps has provided an information-based model for trans-boundary collaboration and investment to create flood resilience across watersheds in Indonesia. The project took an integrated approach to flood risk reduction, introducing innovative and user-friendly information tools for communities, government, and private sector organisations. Working with these stakeholders in vulnerable downstream urban neighbourhoods and upstream rural villages, the project provided actionable, real-time information on flood risks and projected returns on investment from flood risk-reduction measures, strengthening structures for collaboration and coordinated action for flood risk reduction.
