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.

The project will strengthen dam safety and improve management of water resources for hydropower and irrigation in selected areas of Nigeria.

The project will improve rural access and the climate resilience of communities in targeted rural areas across Nigeria, and strengthen institutional capacity for managing the rural road network.

The project will improve climate-resilient road connectivity and enable value-chain logistics development in southern Niger by financing rehabilitation of the RN1 Maradi–Zinder section (bitumen), associated secondary and rural roads, and logistics-enabling measures; strengthening institutions and project management (with HEIS); and providing a Contingent Emergency Response Component for shocks. The design integrates climate-resilient road standards, drainage and safety, and targeted support to logistics services linked to agricultural value chains and sub‑regional trade 

The project development objective is to improve irrigation services and agricultural productivity in the target areas. The project will support the rehabilitation of lakes to enhance resilience to drought and soil conservation and afforestation activities within catchments to reduce flood and erosion risks.

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.
