The national Government's long-term development goal is to maintain steady economic growth and improve people's living standards. The Project together with this technical assistance (TA) is promoting sustainable economic growth by reducing investor concerns over flooding. This is expected to promote industrial development and employment in urban areas, and indirectly, develop rural areas by protecting urban market centers upon which rural markets depend. Integrated flood management promotes sustainable natural resource management. Through the Project together with the TA, ADB is assisting the Government in implementing policies and strategies in integrated flood management in Hunan Province, and support the Hunan provincial government in building local government capacity to implement its flood management projects and ensure proper safeguarding.
