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 the Bank’s website, the Ministry of Infrastructure (MININFRA) through the Rwanda Transport Development Agency (RTDA) has requested the World Bank for the implementation of the Rwanda Emergency Connectivity Restoration project (RECOR), which involves spot rehabilitation and improvement of 253.7 km of national roads out of 20 National Roads and from 21 district roads, 129.8 km of them which traverses through six districts and 20 bridges out of 47 bridges damaged by the flood occurred on May 2 and 3, 2023. The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to restore the connectivity in areas of Rwanda affected by floods and landslides by rebuilding the damaged transport infrastructure in a climate-resilient manner.

Early Warning System Project Analysis
For a project with severe or irreversible impacts to local community and natural resources, the Early Warning System Team may conduct a thorough analysis regarding its potential impacts to human and environmental rights.

The environmental risk rating of the project is substantial. Cognizant of the nature, type, and scale of the proposed project, which involves spot rehabilitation of flood-damaged 254 km national roads and 130 km district roads sections and repairing or maintenance of partially damaged 20 bridges, the environmental risk rating is Substantial.

The social risk rating of the proposed project is substantial. The anticipated key potential social risks and impacts are related to the loss of assets and livelihoods, restriction access to resources, physical and economic displacement, risks of vulnerable/disadvantaged populations or social categories which, by virtue of gender, age, physical or mental disability, economic disadvantage or social status may be vulnerable to the changes brought by the project activities, or who may be excluded from their associated benefits; health and safety risks to communities and workers due to the proposed spot rehabilitation of national and district roads and bridge activities; risks associated with labor management and local demand for employment; spread of infectious diseases, Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (SEA ), including HIV/AIDs and other STDs, etc.
