The project will improve the climate resilience and operational efficiency of Ukraine’s national road network by financing routine and periodic preservation works, emergency modular bridges, and border-crossing point infrastructure and equipment, alongside technical assistance and project management. Physical investments include maintenance and repairs to state roads and bridges across government‑controlled oblasts—embedding drainage, road safety, and climate‑resilient practices—and installation of modular bridges to restore connectivity.

The project will restore access to essential municipal and health services and resilient rural housing in provinces affected by the February 2023 earthquakes. It finances rehabilitation and reconstruction of municipal water, sanitation, stormwater drainage, and associated infrastructure; restoration and equipping of essential health services (including prefabricated facilities, mobile primary care and diagnostics, and disability services); and resilient, energy‑efficient rural housing and village infrastructure, plus project management and Hands‑on Expanded Implementation Support.

The project will improve climate-resilient urban infrastructure and services and strengthen institutional capacity in the Dar es Salaam metropolitan area.

The additional financing will strengthen public service delivery capacity of local governments, increase access to climate-resilient urban infrastructure and services, and enable immediate response to eligible crises in selected Somali cities. It supports urban drainage and flood risk management, climate-resilient streets, bridges and walkways, pedestrian safety and solar streetlighting, and municipal systems for inclusive service delivery. Institutional strengthening, analytics, and project management build municipal capacity; a CERC enables rapid response.

This Development Policy Financing with a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option (Cat DDO) supports Romania to strengthen inclusive multi‑hazard preparedness and response and advance disaster risk reduction and climate action.

The project will improve connectivity, climate resilience, and safety of selected roads in Mindanao by: (i) upgrading three local “link roads” to national standards with climate‑resilient and road safety measures; (ii) rehabilitating and enhancing priority sections of the Cagayan de Oro–Davao–General Santos (CDO–Davao–GenSan) corridor, and introducing output/performance‑based maintenance; (iii) strengthening asset management, institutional capacity, and road safety; and (iv) enabling rapid response through a Contingent Emergency Response Component.

This Development Policy Financing with a Catastrophe Deferred-Drawdown Option (Cat DDO) strengthens the Government of the Philippines’ capacity to manage disaster and climate risks across education, human settlements, and health systems. Policy actions integrate risk‑informed and evidence‑based resilience measures in school infrastructure planning and emergency preparedness; mainstream resilience in land use planning, urban design strategies, and establishment of green/open spaces; and embed resilience standards in the construction of health facilities.

The Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Phase 1 will modernize Lima’s traffic management and support sustainable, green, and inclusive urban mobility. It finances expansion and centralization of the traffic lights system, an automated traffic violation detection and control system, safer intersections and traffic‑calming zones, and improved connectivity for non‑motorized transport (cycling and walking), plus project management and capacity building.

This Development Policy Operation with a Catastrophe Deferred Drawdown Option (Cat DDO) supports the Republic of the Marshall Islands to (i) enhance fiscal management and (ii) build disaster and climate resilience. Policy actions include establishing core public financial management and procurement processes, and strengthening the disaster and climate policy framework via the Disaster Risk Management Act (2023), a Sea Level Rise Adaptation Policy, and a forthcoming National Building Act/Code.

The project will enable sustainable recovery and restore lifeline services and critical infrastructure in conflict‑affected areas of Lebanon. It finances immediate response and rubble management across the clearance–transport–sorting–recycling chain; rapid recovery of public lifeline services and critical infrastructure; and sustainable, robust reconstruction of public facilities (including energy- and water‑efficient buildings with solar PV), alongside project management.
