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 basic urban infrastructure and living conditions in selected northern cities (Pemba, Nampula, Nacala, Montepuez) through climate‑resilient investments and institutional strengthening. It finances urban roads and access improvements with micro‑drainage; drainage and erosion control (including nature‑based solutions); small water supply systems; energy‑efficient street lighting; and rehabilitation of priority public buildings (schools, clinics, markets).

The project will promote community-led nature-based solutions to climate change adaptation in the Usangu catchment by financing rainwater harvesting and storage facilities, boreholes, rehabilitation of small check/charco dams to reduce channel erosion and gullying, river training to enhance flows and reduce flooding, tree planting for catchment conservation, and village land use plans for sustainable landscape management.

The project develops multiuse water sources, climate-smart agriculture and livestock services, and environmental catchment services to strengthen rural resilience in Somalia’s drylands. It finances construction and rehabilitation of water points (e.g., sand/subsurface dams, berkads, hafir dams, boreholes), nature-based solutions for watershed-scale restoration and recharge, and community-centered planning and livelihoods support.

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

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.
