    Abstract With climate change exacerbating flood risks in West Africa, “Ecosystem-based Disaster Risk Reduction” (Eco-DRR) is increasingly recognized as part of the solution to address this challenge. This guidebook outlines the strategic planning and evaluation of Eco-DRR measures to support tailoring them to local needs and conditions, strategically locating the intervention for increased risk reduction benefits and comprehensively evaluating their effectiveness. It guides the successful implementation of Eco-DRR, with practical steps on ‘how to’ plan and locate and evaluate the interventions.
