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.

Original Objective:
To improve the longevity, safety and climate resiliency of selected paved primary roads in Madagascar.

Current Objective:
The objective will be expanded to include post-disaster recovery on railways and electricity infrastructure, introduced by the CERC activities. The new objective will be to “improve the longevity safety and climate resiliency of selected paved primary roads, and support emergency recovery of selected main infrastructure in Madagascar”.

Proposed Project Components of the RSSP Project once the AF is approved:

  1. Component 1. Improving Road Condition and Resilience (US$180 million equivalent): This component will finance works and consultancy services to support periodic and routine maintenance on about 1,200 km (representing 20 percent) of national paved primary roads in different regions of Madagascar.

  2. Component 2. Technical Assistance and Support to Roads and Transport Sector Reforms (US$20 million equivalent): This component will primarily finance consultancy services and goods aimed at supporting capacity building and activities within the roads and transport sector to strengthen institutions and to ensure the sustainability of connectivity.

    13. Component 3 Contingency Emergency Response Component (US$100 million equivalent) The following activities are being financed under the activated CERC of the original project:

    1. Sub-Component 3.1 Road and Rail infrastructure (US$80 million). This subcomponent will finance consultancy services, equipment, and works for the emergency reconstruction needs of roads, bridges, and associated infrastructure (US$78 million) as well as for railways operated (US$2 million).

    2. Sub-Component 3.2 Electricity Infrastructure (US$20 million). This subcomponent will finance consultancy services, equipment, and works for the emergency reconstruction needs of JIRAMA electricity network, especially the distribution network.

    3. Sub-Component 3.3 Future Contingency Emergency Response Component (US$ 0 equivalent). This subcomponent is introduced to allow for the potential activation of future CERCs if needed.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.
