The second component is electro-mechanical works. This component consists of mechanical and electrical works divided into two sub-components, mechanical and electrical works. The third component is technical assistance and capacity-building. This component consists of the following five sub-components: (a) consulting firm; (b) asset management; (c) safeguard implementation; (d) capacity building; and (e) catchment area treatment plan. The fourth component is contingent emergency response. This component will draw resources from the unallocated expenditure category and allow the Government of Nepal (GoN) to request the Bank to re-categorize and reallocate financing from other project components to partially cover emergency response and recovery costs. This component can also be used to channel additional funds available as a result of the emergency. This component does not have results indicator in the results framework.
