N’Djamena Urban Resilience Project

The development objective of the N’Djamena Urban Resilience Project for Chad is to reduce flood risk and strengthen climate resilient urban planning and selected flood-related services in N’Djamena. The project comprises of four components. The first component, flood protection and drainage infrastructure focus on mitigating the negative impacts of floods through green and grey infrastructures to protect vulnerable areas of N’Djamena against recurrent fluvial and pluvial floods. It consists of following sub-components: (i) investments in pluvial and fluvial flood protection; and (ii) promoting sustainability and effectiveness of flood protection infrastructure. The second component, climate resilient urban planning, services, and community investments focuses on improving risk-informed urban planning and management, promoting climate resilient community investments, and strengthening selected flood-related services. It consists of following sub-components: (i) strengthening climate risk-informed urban planning and management; and (ii) promoting climate resilient community interventions and disaster preparedness and response. The third component, project management and monitoring will finance the costs associated with implementation support, including project coordination, implementation, supervision, financial management (FM), procurement, audits, communication, and outreach, environmental and social (E and S) management (including supervision of the environmental and social commitment plan (ESCP) and grievance management), monitoring and evaluation (M and E), and knowledge management. The fourth component, contingent emergency response component will provide an immediate response to an eligible crisis or emergency, as needed, by financing the implementation of emergency response, early recovery, and or urgent reconstruction measures, bridging the gap to long-term recovery and reconstruction.
