Saint Lucia - Urban Resilient Flood Investment Project

Overview & Synopsis

The development objectives of Urban Resilient Flood Investment Project for Saint Lucia are: (i) enhance resilience to floods in selected areas; and (ii) strengthen the Government’s capacity for managing climate related risks. This Project has three components. The first component, Institutional and System Strengthening for Flood Resilience and Preparedness, has the following sub-components: Enhancing Flood Infrastructure Planning, Design, and Construction Supervision; Strengthening Local Flood Preparedness through better Operations and Maintenance; and Strengthening Flood Early Warning Systems. The second component, Enhancement of Critical Flood-Risk Reduction Infrastructure, aims to finance select infrastructure investments that will increase the resilience of communities to flood and climate change-induced hazards in Castries and Anse La Raye. The third component, Project Management and Supervision, aims to finance consulting services, goods and equipment for the Project Coordination Unit (PCU) to provide technical and operational support.
