Myanmar Flood and Landslide Emergency Recovery Project

closed

The objective of the Flood and Landslide Emergency Recovery Project is to support the recovery in priority areas affected by the 2015 floods and landslides in Myanmar and, in the event of another Eligible Crisis or Emergency, to provide immediate and effective response to said Eligible Crisis or Emergency. There are five components to the project, the first component being resilient rehabilitation of national roads. The objective of this component is to support the climate-resilient rehabilitation of damaged national road infrastructure. The target areas will benefit from improved connectivity and restored access to markets and social services, which will contribute to the economic growth. The restored roads and bridges will also serve as supply and rescue lines in the event of a disaster. The second component is the resilient rehabilitation of rural roads and livelihoods support. The objective of this component is to: (i) rehabilitate rural roads that have been destroyed during the floods, and (ii) support livelihoods and create jobs through the use of labor-intensive works, where appropriate. The third component is the provision of eligible goods. This component will support a pass-through contribution to the IDA IRM response to the 2015 July–September floods and landslides through provision of eligible goods and other technical assistance. The fourth component is the project management and knowledge support. This component will support the MOC and DRD in project management and implementation. Finally, the fifth component is the contingent emergency response. This component will allow for a reallocation of credit proceeds from other components to provide emergency recovery and reconstruction support following any future eligible crisis or emergency.
