| Project Detail |
The project supports the government in constructing the new 102-kilometer (km) Dohazari-Coxs Bazar section of the Chattogram-Coxs Bazar railway corridor in Southeastern Bangladesh. The multitranche financing facility (MFF) uses the time-slice financing approach for the large-scale project comprising civil works, equipment, goods, and consulting services. The project was fully appraised at the due diligence for the MFF appraisal. Under the first tranche, all procurement were completed and subsequent tranches continue to finance part of the project. Consulting services that were recruited at the beginning are to be financed only with the COL loan of Tranche 1. The attached technical assistance approved along with tranche 1 strengthens the capacity of Bangladesh Railway, the executing agency, on project implementation management, including safeguards management.
