Programs
Aga Khan Agency for Habitat (AKAH) India envisions creating habitats where communities are resilient to disasters, adapt to climate change, and thrive. Guided by its mission to enable resilience through technical expertise in climate action, risk reduction, and habitat improvement, the agency works to enhance community preparedness, safeguard natural resources, and promote sustainable living.
Major Interventions:
Water Security Management: AKAHI implements water conservation and management initiatives in drought-prone and water-stressed areas. These include rainwater harvesting, check dams, aquifer recharge, and restoration of wetlands and riverfronts. Community-led programs empower residents to adopt sustainable practices, improve groundwater levels, and ensure year-round water availability for domestic, agricultural, and livestock needs.
Coastal Climate Resilience: In vulnerable coastal regions, AKAHI strengthens ecosystems through mangrove plantation, biodiversity conservation, and training communities as first responders. Utilizing nature-based solutions and technologies, such as IoT monitoring, these initiatives enhance shoreline protection, promote carbon sequestration, and support local livelihoods while mitigating climate-related risks.
Urban Habitat Risk Resilience: In urban areas, AKAHI addresses the challenges of heat islands, flooding, and inadequate green spaces. Interventions include city climate action plans, cool roof solutions, urban microforests, bamboo plantations, and green retrofitting of housing societies. These projects promote sustainable construction, improve air quality, and enhance community-led climate action.
Disaster Risk Reduction: AKAHI strengthens community capacity to prepare for and respond to disasters through early warning systems, emergency response training, and hazard mapping. Community Emergency Response Teams (CERTs) and school-based safety programs build grassroots resilience, reducing loss of life and property during emergencies.
Enviroshala - Building School Resilience: It transforms schools into resilient, sustainable institutions. It improves access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities, promotes renewable energy solutions, and integrates environmental education. Students become ‘Environmental Ambassadors’, fostering a culture of preparedness and eco-consciousness within their communities.
