N’Djamena Urban Resilience Project

About this project

The proposed project will be implemented over a six-year period and represents the WB's first engagement in the urban development and resilience sector in Chad since 2015.

Component 2 supports climate-resilient urban services and planning for improved flood resilience, including key urban planning studies and instruments, community-led interventions as well as disaster preparedness and response. Component 3 covers project management and monitoring. Component 4 is a contingent emergency response component (CERC) aimed at helping the government improve response times in the event of future crises. A new component 5 will be added to finance the works and technical studies for the rehabilitation and construction of crossing infrastructures to address the impact of floodings. The project will rely on an integrated approach to increase the city's climate resilience capacity and strengthen selected urban services.
