International Flood Initiative - IFI
The overall aim of the International Flood Initiative (IFI) is to build capacity in countries to understand and better respond to floods by taking advantage of their benefits while at the same time minimizing their social, economic and environmental risks.
The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have launched the International Flood Initiative (IFI) to address existing management gaps through a holistic approach and to provide a platform for further collaborative efforts.
