The project includes the following main components: (a) support for the recently established Dam Safety Commission (DSC) and Dam Safety Unit (DSU) at central government level and Dam Monitoring Units (DMU) at central and local dam owners' levels; (b) provision of basic dam safety facilities at dams where at present such facilities are lacking; and (c) implementation of remedial works at dams with safety deficiencies. Training and technical assistance will be provided to assist the Directorate General of Water Resources Development with the implementation of the project.
