| Project Detail |
The development objectives of the Dam Safety and Water Resources Planning Project for Sri Lanka are to: (i) establish long-term sustainable arrangements for the operation and maintenance of large dams; and (ii) improve water resources planning. The additional financing (AF) will help finance the costs associated with: (i) cost overruns to complete the original project scope; and (ii) scale-up of successful project activities, including rehabilitation and modernization of dams in parts of the east and north of the country that cannot be included in the original project. The AF will be consistent with the country partnership strategy (CPS) FY2013-16 which is being revised through a CPS progress report to be delivered in FY2014. It will link to two of the three original CPS focus areas, namely: (i) facilitating sustained private and public investment; and (ii) improving living standards and social inclusion. The AF will contribute to improvements at dams to be able to manage varying inflows more efficiently and through better water resources planning and management to respond to increasing climatic variability. There will be one new intermediate indicator to capture the preparation of feasibility studies for future investments based on the various plans prepared under the original project. The indicators from the original project remain valid, but the target of some of the indicators has been revised to reflect increased end of project values. |
