Capacity building for the development
of the sustainable use strategy of
water resource in DPR Korea
Project rationale and objectives



The water resource is one of the sectors most influenced by
climate change in DPR Korea. The climate change causes
many negative effects, for example flood, drought and
sustainable reduction of water resource due to the rapid
increment of the amount of outflow of water during the rainy
season, which results in serious damages in the national
economy and people’s lives.
there are many problems to solve in the short time or long time
because of the lack of study and experience of scientific and
sustainable water management.
The objective of this project is to establish the strategic
framework for the efficient and sustainable use of water
resource in DPR Korea corresponding with the needs of GEF.
Expected Outcomes
To establish a methodology for the estimation
of the amount of water resource based the
scenario on climate change.
To establish a strategic framework for the
efficient and sustainable use of water
resource.
To strengthen a human capacity for the
sustainable and scientific management of
water resource.
