Climate Risk Assessment Methodology for Projects in the Public Investment Management System

Climate change poses a major threat to public investments, increasing risks and uncertainties that demand resilient infrastructure. For Niger, which is highly vulnerable—especially to frequent, severe floods—resilient and green public investments are essential to strengthen its adaptive capacity and support its transition to green infrastructure. Hence, the main objective of the strategy document is to gradually develop a "Climate Risk Assessment Methodology for projects in the Public Investment Management system" for Niger. This methodology will be implemented during the design and proposal stages for all Public Investment Program (PIP) projects. It is specifically designed to ensure that projects undertake progressively more sophisticated climate risk assessments as they advance, ultimately guaranteeing the long-term resilience and success of the nation's public investments.
