Northern Crisis Recovery Project - Additional Financing

active

Prospective

The proposed multi-sector crisis response project will support the Government of Mozambique to improve the delivery of urgent basic services to the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), hosting communities, and people remaining in fragile areas either recently liberated or likely to fall into conflict. The project will initially prioritize the immediate recovery needs by focusing on the provision of basic services and the restoration of livelihoods. These interventions will ensure complementarity with ongoing humanitarian efforts and strengthen Bank joint-work and coordination with traditional partners such as the UN and AfDB and other emerging non-traditional partners. In addition, the project will also lay down elements needed for a transition to the longer-term development of core infrastructure, while building longer-term crisis preparedness and response capacity to participating communities. With respect to job creation, the project’s design includes the possibility of employing IDPs to provide education and health services, among other critical services. Through the participation of the affected communities, the project will ensure that interventions are aligned with their needs and establish a grassroots process for facilitating social cohesion, mitigating conflict, and rebuilding state-society relations.The project design will be guided by the following principles: (a) addressing immediate needs through early recovery activities; (b) empowering local and national authorities for leadership and oversight of the delivery of services; c) engaging directly with partners on the ground and instituting direct third-party implementation arrangements; (d) engaging early in complex crises to help clients in transitioning from early to medium-term recovery and resilience-building activities; (e) maximizing flexibility and quick-disbursing components; and (f) investing in medium-term recovery and resilience-building for the sustainability of interventions.
