Preparing the Sustainable Transport and Connectivity Enhancement Project

proposed

The project readiness financing will support the preparation of the ensuing project suitable for Asian Development Bank's financing programmed in 2027. The key features of the ensuing project are to enhance critical road and outer island connectivity through strengthened land and maritime networks, enabling reliable movement of people, goods, and services. The PRF will conduct feasibility studies to identify high-priority projects based on climate risks and strategic connectivity needs for both land and maritime components. Detailed designs for the ensuing project will incorporate lessons learned, best practices, and innovative climate-resilient features. Each component will undergo climate risk screening and, where needed, detailed assessment, with adaptation and mitigation measures integrated into the designs. Appropriate adaptation and mitigation measures will then be incorporated to strengthen resilience against natural hazards and climate impacts. communities.
