17. FAT IN FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT
The adoption of common
frameworks (e.g. WFD & FD)
can act as driver for
improvement.
Respondents found
relation between
financing system &
incidents, with Focus on
sufficiency & stability
Respondents consider to
apply cost recovery &
beneficiary pays, but current
application is limited &
improving financing is not a
priority
FRM Beneficiaries &
services not explicitly
defined, thus Costs
difficult to be defined &
recovered.
Finance new projects & not
maintenance is more salient &
accessible, leading to
Deterioration of Investments/
Maintenance balance
Respondents’ recommendations for the
financing system include:
- Quick implementation of current legal
frameworks & plans
- More targeted/efficient spending
- Increase Public-Private partnerships to cover
future needs
20. PROSPECTS OF FAT APPLICATION
Start discussion and
Increase awareness
Government & society to
acquire problem’s
ownership
First indicative picture of

Continue with in-depth
assessments
Create a database of
paradigms
Communicate models and

Overcome local
opposition, demand for
protection or legislative
constraints
