The development objective of the Ibadan Urban Flood Management Project for Nigeria is to improve the capacity of Oyo state to effectively manage flood risk in the city of Ibadan. Some of the negative impacts and mitigation measures include: (1) awareness raising scheme and training programs to achieve the goals of community-based interventions. These will facilitate avoidance of impacts where feasible and reduce potential impacts where not feasible; (2) consulting and encouraging community to abandon conversion of forest land into cultivation land, while providing awareness and support for alternatives, sustainable intensification, and interventions that can encourage land sparing; (3) consulting and encouraging local peoples to find alternative fuel consumption pattern instead of using fuel wood. This is to avoid impacts from reduced natural ground cover, as well as minimizing rate of runoff; (4) ensure minimum water flows to these systems by establishing standard operating protocols to follow; and (5) involve community representatives in early warning systems. As simple as a river gauge will improve awareness and there are volunteer’s waiting to be trained in the affected communities.
