Atlas of Landslides in the Kyrgyz Republic

This publication assesses the Kyrgyz Republic's rising exposure to landslides and looks at how ADB is providing a $35 million finance package to develop a risk reduction program designed to boost preparedness and cut their impact. Explaining why factors including rainfall patterns and high seismic activity make the country prone to landslides, it shows that over 30,000 people are at immediate risk from the events with women and marginalized groups most vulnerable. The publication shows that mainstreaming increased landslide risk management, including institutional and community monitoring capacity, into national development policies and investments can better protect rural communities.
