Bank Risk Rating
B
Environmental and social categorization assessed by the development bank as a measure of the planned project’s environmental and social impacts. A higher risk rating may require more due diligence to limit or avoid harm to people and the environment. For example, "A" or "B" are risk categories where "A" represents the highest amount of risk. Results will include projects that specifically recorded a rating, all other projects are marked ‘U’ for "Undisclosed."

The objective of the Project is to reduce vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change impacts in Dominica through: (i) investment in resilient infrastructure, and (ii) improved hazard data collection and monitoring systems.
 

The development objective of the Third Phase of the Eastern Caribbean Regional Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Program Project for Dominica is to reduce vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change impacts in Dominica through: (i) investment in resilient infrastructure, and (ii) improved hazard data collection and monitoring systems. The project has four components. The first component, prevention and adaptation investments will be designed to reduce physical vulnerability and pilot adaptive measures to build resilience to current and future hydro meteorological shocks. The second component, capacity building and data development, hazard risk management, and evaluation will support the creation of relevant core data and data collection systems as well as the integration analytical tools to permit improved decision making and engineering design for risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The third component, natural disaster response investments will support carrying out of emergency recovery and reconstruction subprojects under an agreed action plan of activities designed as a mechanism to implement the Recipient's response to an emergency. This provisional component will allow rapid reallocation of the International Development Association (IDA) credit, under streamlined procurement and disbursement procedures, to cover emergency response and recovery costs following an adverse natural event that causes a major disaster in Dominica. The fourth component, project management and implementation support will support strengthening the institutional capacity for project management.
