Tunisia - Emergency assistance to schools affected by bad weather in Nabeul governorate

The present intervention concerns the emergency assistance to weather-affected schools in Nabeul governorate. It aims to upgrade school buildings and equipment in the affected schools in this Governorate. This assistance was designed because of the significant human and material damage caused by the floods that affected a dozen cities. The resources provided by the Bank Group aim to restore hope to the victims of bad weather and to mitigate the socio-economic impact, particularly in the education sector. Thus, Bank Group support will focus on four seriously affected schools and aim to make these institutions more welcoming and resilient to future climate hazards. The assistance is structured around two components, namely: (i) support for the restoration of school infrastructures and (ii) capacity building for resilience to natural and climatic risks.
