The Climate Resilient Integrated Water Management Project (CRIWMP) financed by the Green Climate Fund is a nature-based, home-grown approach to addressing climate risks in vulnerable communities like the Dry Zone. Implemented by the Government of Sri Lanka, with support from UNDP, it is reviving the old irrigation systems in three river basins of Mee Oya, Yan Oya and the Malwathu Oya. UNDP Resident Representative in Sri Lanka, Azusa Kubota, explains why the project has been so successful and how the model offers more than just a plan for water and food security.
