MZ - Emergency Resilient Recovery Project

closed

The development objective of the Northern and Central Regions Emergency Resilient Recovery Project for Mozambique is to restore the functionality of critical infrastructure in a resilient manner in the disaster-affected provinces, and to improve the Government of Mozambique’s (GoM) capacity to respond promptly and effectively to an eligible crisis or emergency. The project comprises of four components. The first component, resilient infrastructure rehabilitation will finance: (a) dikes and weirs; (b) irrigation; (c) drinking water supply infrastructure in Mozambique’s Licungo river; and (d) education infrastructure, as recommended in the GoM World Bank - United Nation - European Union (UN-EU) joint damage assessment. It consists of following four sub-components: (i) rehabilitation of damaged dikes and weirs; (ii) rehabilitation of rural infrastructure in the Magandja da costa district; (iii) rehabilitation of drinking water supply in Mocuba; and (iv) rehabilitation and reconstruction of resilient schools. The second component, technical assistance for resilient recovery and vulnerability reduction will focus on enhancing the capacity to manage risks associated with natural hazards, and will be complemented by resources from global facility for disaster reduction and recovery (GFDRR) in support of safer schools, disaster risk management (DRM) legal framework, recovery framework, amongst others. It consists of following three sub-components: (i) improving the implementation of resilient school construction; (ii) capacity strengthening for DRM and recovery framework; and (iii) study on Licungo watershed management. The third component will finance project implementation, monitoring and evaluation costs for ministry of public works, housing, and water resources (MOPHRH) (for National Directorate of Water (DNA)), ministry of education and human development (MINEDH), national institute for irrigation (INIR), and water and sanitation infrastructure administration (AIAS). It consists of following four sub-components: (i) project implementation, monitoring and evaluation by MOPHRH; (ii) project implementation, monitoring and evaluation by MINEDH; (iii) project implementation, monitoring and evaluation by INIR; and (iv) project implementation, monitoring and evaluation by AIAS. The fourth component, contingency emergency response (CERC) will finance emergency works in case of another disaster event by including a zero-dollar CER component.
