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 development objective of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Rural Investment and Institutional Support Project for Pakistan is to increase access to resilient and reliable basic services for households living in the newly merged areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The project comprises of five components. The first component, multisectoral investments and improved service delivery objective is to extend state systems to the merged areas, by focusing both on investments in infrastructure as well as the missing delivery systems that hinder effective service delivery. It consists of following sub-components: (i) multisectoral infrastructure investments in the merged areas; (ii) integrated service delivery facilities; and (iii) design and supervision consultant services. The second component, institutional development of merged areas will finance investments to bolster state responsiveness to citizens, focusing on lower tiers of government and service delivery. It consists of following sub-components: (i) institutional strengthening and capacity support to village councils; (ii) conditional grants to village councils; and (iii) public administrative service facilities. The third component, emergency flood response objective is to support the Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of flood protection infrastructure as well as to improve climate resilience in the newly merged districts and frontier region. The fourth component, project management, monitoring and evaluation, and technical assistance will support the provision of support for project implementation, coordination, technical assistance, and training. The fifth component, contingent emergency response will support provision of immediate response to an eligible crisis or emergency, as needed.
