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.

According to bank documents, the project objective is to strengthen public service delivery capacity at the municipal level and support the reconstruction of key urban
infrastructure in targeted areas. The following four components are proposed for a duration of five years:

  1. Urban Infrastructure and Services (USD 94m)
    1. Sub-Component 1.1: Urban Infrastructure and Services (US$ 4m). This component will cover the preparation of any technical studies required prior to the construction of civil works to be supported through the project which includes: (i) technical studies, engineering designs and bidding documents for priority investments; (ii) environment and social due diligence work; (iii) institutional assessments of implementing agencies; and (iv) any other necessary analytical work. The preparation of these studies would be contracted out by the respective municipalities/district governments and a competitive procurement process would be followed.
    2. Sub-Component 1.2. Investment in Urban Infrastructure and Services (US$ 90m). This component will finance all costs associated with the implementation and supervision of infrastructure investments in cities where the necessary implementation readiness criteria are met.
  2. Institutional Strengthening and Analytics (US$ 6m). This component will support various thematic technical assistance (TA) and related analytics that will feed into the design of the TA. Possible TA activities include:  (i) TA on Displacement and Durable Solutions; (ii) TA on Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of Urban Infrastructure and Services; (iii) TA on Subnational Infrastructure and Service Delivery.
  3. Project Management (US$ 10m). This component will finance both the overall project management costs of the project as well as the capacity building of the project and municipal staff who will implement and manage the project. Specifically, this component will finance costs related to staffing of a Project Coordination Unit (PCU) located in a federal level line ministry such as the Ministry of Public Works as well as the PIUs at the municipal level in al target cities.
  4. Contingent Emergency Response (US$ 0m). This contingent emergency response component (CERC) would be included under the project in accordance with the World Bank Policy on Investment Project Financing dated November 10, 2017, Paragraph 12 and 13 for situations of urgent need of assistance, as a project-specific CERC. This will allow for rapid reallocation of project funds in the event of a natural or man-made crisis in the future, during the implementation of the project, to address eligible emergency needs under the conditions established in its operations manual. This component will have no funding allocation initially and will draw resources from the other expenditure categories at the time of activation. If an Immediate Response Mechanism (IRM) is established, this component will serve as an IRM CERC to allow the reallocation of uncommitted funds from the project portfolio to the IRM Designated Account (DA) to address emergency response and recovery costs, if approved by the World Bank.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF WORLD BANK

The World Bank Inspection Panel is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by a World Bank-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the Inspection Panel, they may investigate to assess whether the World Bank is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org. You can learn more about the Inspection Panel and how to file a complaint at: http://ewebapps.worldbank.org/apps/ip/Pages/Home.aspx.
