| Project Detail |
The development objective of Additional Financing for the Community Development Program Support Project Response to Forced Displacement Project is to strengthen local public finance management and participatory development processes in communes for the delivery of quality and sustainable social and economic infrastructure. The AF will finance: (a) social infrastructure, including health, education, water and sanitation; and (b) economic or productive investments, such as the construction/rehabilitation of rural markets, communities’ storage facilities, rural roads, small bridges, culverts, small-scale irrigation schemes, and small electrification projects. Investments will be identified in consultation with communities in the CDPs and appraised per technical, financial, social, economic, institutional, and environmental criteria set out in the Project Implementation Manual (PIM). Generally, local councils/communities will be responsible for all phases of the subproject, including preparation of the proposal, contracting, implementation, and O&M. As needed, the LSPs will provide support. The project will prioritize local councils affected by inflows of refugees, where structures delivering basic services are already overstretched. It will increase access for the most vulnerable to essential physical assets and social services and thereby, create an environment for economic and social activities in the local councils of the four regions. Moreover, improving access to essential services for women is key. Therefore, a prioritization of public infrastructures (public lighting, reducing distance to water points, and so on) will be done in a participatory manner in a way that mitigates risks of conflicts between communities and contributes to reducing GBV, including sexual violence. |
