Federated States of Micronesia Strategic Climate-Oriented Road Enhancements

active

The development objective of Strategic Climate-Oriented Road Enhancements Project for Federated States of Micronesia is to improve the climate resilience of the Recipient’s secondary road network, and in case of an Eligible Crisis or Emergency, respond promptly and effectively to it. This project has four components. The first component, Spatial and Sector Planning Tools, involves technical assistance (TA) to support FSM in the way that climate change is addressed in the road sector through analytical and sector planning tools that enable policymakers to make informed decisions based on the most accurate and up-to-date sector information available. The second component, Climate Resilient Infrastructure Solutions, involves feasibility studies, design, supervision and construction of identified priority strategic secondary road assets to improve their resilience to climate-related hazards and/or events. The third component, Strengthening the Enabling Environment, will help to strengthen coordination among relevant institutions, will look at ways in which road sector management can be improved, and will address any emerging priority issues that can help support the Government in addressing climate change risks. The fourth component, Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC), is designed to provide swift response in an event of an Eligible Crisis or Emergency, by enabling GoFSM to request the World Bank to re-allocate project funds to support emergency response and reconstruction.
