Responsibilities

At the Edo State Flood, Erosion, and Watershed Management Agency (EDOFEWMA), we are entrusted with a range of responsibilities aimed at mitigating the impact of floods, erosion, and watershed degradation in Edo State. Our diverse portfolio of responsibilities includes:

We conduct comprehensive assessments of flood and erosion-prone areas to identify areas at risk and prioritize interventions.

EDOFEWMA designs and implements infrastructure projects for flood and erosion control, including the construction of drainage systems, embankments, and erosion control structures.

We are committed to raising awareness and educating communities on disaster preparedness, environmental conservation, and sustainable land use practices.

EDOFEWMA collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders, including government agencies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), community groups, and international organizations, to develop and enforce regulations for sustainable land use and water management.

We continually monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of our mitigation measures to ensure that they are achieving their intended outcomes and making a positive impact.

EDOFEWMA invests in research and innovation to develop new technologies and approaches for flood and erosion management, staying at the forefront of best practices in the field.

In times of crisis, EDOFEWMA plays a critical role in coordinating emergency response efforts, mobilizing resources, and providing support to affected communities.

We advocate for policies and initiatives that promote sustainable development and environmental protection, working to create an enabling environment for effective flood and erosion management.

By fulfilling these responsibilities, EDOFEWMA is committed to safeguarding lives, property, and the environment in Edo State, and building a more resilient future for all.
