The development objective of the Road Sector Sustainability Project for Madagascar is to improve the longevity, safety, and climate resiliency of selected paved primary roads in Madagascar. The project comprises of three components. The first component, improving road condition and resilience will finance works and consultancy services to support periodic and routine maintenance on national paved primary roads in different regions of Madagascar. The second component, technical assistance and support to roads and transport sector reforms 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, among other aims. The third component, contingency emergency response component will facilitate access to rapid financing by allowing for the reallocation of uncommitted project funds in the event of a natural disaster, either by a formal declaration of a national emergency or upon a formal request from the government.
