Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.
The objective of the Climate Resilience Improvement Project for Sri Lanka is to reduce the vulnerability of exposed people and assets to climate risk and to improve Government’s capacity to respond effectively to disasters. The additional financing (AF) will help the Government of Sri Lanka (GoSL) to finance the costs associated with the repair and disaster proofing of irrigation, flood control and road infrastructure that were damaged due to extreme rainfall in December 2014. In addition, financing is required to close a financing gap caused by cost escalation of civil works under the parent project. The major change associated with the additional financing is the scale up of component two which will result in revisions to; i) implementation schedule; ii) project costs; iii) annual disbursement estimates; iv) results framework (total outputs, annual output targets, and results indicators); and v) implementation arrangements. In addition, OP/BP 4.37 on safety of dams will be triggered due to the fact that several flood risk mitigation interventions on irrigation and flood control infrastructure will rely upon the performance of the upstream dams and reservoirs which are the direct source of water storage and supply to those infrastructure.
