Flooding remains one of the most devastating natural hazards affecting communities in Kogi State, Nigeria, due to its location at the confluence of the Rivers Niger and Benue. Although government agencies and humanitarian organizations have implemented several post-flood interventions, evidence suggests that these efforts continue to emphasize emergency relief rather than long-term resilience and sustainable recovery. This study assesses the effectiveness of risk reduction strategies employed during post-flood recovery in selected flood-prone communities in Kogi State. A mixed-method research design is proposed, integrating household surveys, key informant interviews, focus group discussions, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS)-based flood mapping. Quantitative data will be analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative information will undergo thematic analysis. The study evaluates community-based disaster risk reduction, institutional coordination, early warning systems, livelihood restoration, and resilient infrastructure development. Recent studies indicate that vulnerability remains high because of weak institutional coordination, inadequate funding, poor land-use planning, and limited community participation. Conversely, approaches such as participatory planning, nature-based solutions, ecosystem restoration, and effective flood-risk communication have shown promise in strengthening resilience. The study concludes that sustainable post-flood recovery in Kogi State requires a transition from reactive disaster response to proactive, community-centered risk reduction strategies aligned with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction.
