Technical assistance funds have been provided for the design on an output-based (OB) IDA emergency operation in support of Cambodia’s recovery efforts after the Ketsana typhoon in late September 2009. The engagement of a consultant to undertake a preparation and pre-appraisal exercise for a prospective IDA emergency operation in the Northern Provinces of Cambodia will result in an appropriate OB scheme design, including supporting documentation. 

 Technical assistance has been approved by the PMU

The outcome of the consultant's pre-appraisal and design exercise will inform a prospective IDA emergency response that addresses the needs of poor communities affected by Typhoon Ketsana.

GPOBA support will help to inform the implementation actions of the Government in respect of a series of performance-based reconstruction, rehabilitation and maintenance contracts for the roads sector, as well as water and sanitation facilities for poor communities most affected by the typhoon.
