Grenada Resilience Improvement Project

The development objective of the Resilience Improvement Project for Grenada is to increase the population’s access to more disaster resilient, critical infrastructure and in the event of an eligible crisis or emergency, to provide an immediate response to the eligible crisis or emergency. The project comprises of four components. The first component, interventions to increase disaster resilience of critical infrastructure will focus on making critical transport infrastructure resilient to the impacts of climate change and natural hazards. The second component, technical assistance for the development of strategies and designs for infrastructure resilience will develop risk informed strategies and designs to assist the government in planning and prioritization of future resilience investment at additional critical sites and to ensure that gender and inclusion considerations are incorporated where possible. The third component, contingent emergency response component will provide immediate support by financing emergency response activities such as repairs of damaged infrastructure; purchase of required goods and equipment; and measures to ensure business continuity and enable early rehabilitation in the case of an eligible crisis or emergency. The fourth component, project management and implementation support will support the strengthening of institutional capacity for project management across implementation agencies through the provision of technical advisory services, training, operating costs, and acquisition of goods.
