Percentage of the population in each sub-national administrative region that live on floodplains, which is defined as the 1000-year flood extent. The proportion of the reaches that are in each of the floodplain categories for each region is shown by the top pie charts in each box. The proportion of the population settled on the different types of floodplains is shown by the bottom pie chart in each box. Link

[From flood maps to mind maps: Participatory systems modelling of floods in Limbe, Cameroon](https://cdkn.org/story/flood-maps-mind-maps-participatory-systems-modelling-floods-limbe-cameroon). In Limbe, Cameroon, flooding is not just caused by heavy rainfall. Rather from a complex interplay of land-use decisions, poor waste management, weak governance and a lack of infrastructure, with cascading impacts on education, transportation, health, and the economy. Tackling this requires a systems‑thinking approach. The following blog by Dr Lum Sonita Awah, a postdoctoral Fellow at the University of the Free State and an early career research fellow with CDKN, shares how participatory systems modelling can be used to create holistic approaches to flood mitigation and management.
