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 sustainably restore agricultural livelihoods, reconstruct critical public infrastructure to improved standards in the flood-affected districts, and improve the Government of Malawi’s disaster response and recovery capacities.

The project has four components:

    1. labor-intensive community infrastructure repair and
    2. restocking of the strategic grain reserve.
  2. Infrastructure rehabilitation and reconstruction. Four sub-components comprise this one:
    1. reconstruction and improvement of roads and bridges
    2. irrigation and rural water supply and sanitation,
    3. water resource management
    4. rehabilitation and reconstruction of education and health facilities.
  3. The third component, promoting disaster resilience, contains two sub-components. They are:
    1. institutional strengthening of Department of Disaster Management Affairs (DoDMA) and

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.

You can contact the Inspection Panel or submit a complaint by emailing ipanel@worldbank.org.
