The development objective of Disaster Risk Management and Resilience Program Project is to strengthen the government of Mozambique's (GoM) program to finance and prepare for disaster response and to increase the climate resilience of vulnerable education infrastructure in risk prone areas. The program will support a subset of results identified under strategic objectives two, three, and four of the government program. The results and activities to be supported under the Program for Results (PforR) have been prioritized with the GoM based on the most urgent challenges for which they requested support, considering readiness for implementation, building on previous World Bank support to DRM and findings from recent analytical work, and aiming to complement other Bank/donor-financed projects in Mozambique. This results area will focus on improving financial preparedness for disasters, i.e. increasing the availability, predictability, and efficiency of ex-ante resources for disaster preparedness and response. This will be achieved through: (i) the operationalization of the Disaster Management Fund (DMF); (ii) the recurrent capitalization of the DMF and implementation of audit recommendations; and (iii) developing the capacity of GoM to enable the placement of sovereign catastrophe insurance coverage for cyclones and/or drought with capital or insurance markets.
