The objective of the Second Taiz Municipal Development and Flood Protection Project for Republic of Yemen is to reduce damage to lives, buildings, property, infrastructure, and disruption of the city caused by floods.
... See More + Negative impacts include: disruption of families, flood, accidents, erosion, solid waste, and sewage contamination. Mitigation measures include: (1) conducting separate resettlement action plan; (2) providing escape ladders in all open sections of channels; (3) development of solid waste strategy including special provisions for clinical waste disposal; (4) detailed physical and social survey of catchment area; (5) install rain and flow gauges to monitor hydrology of catchment and channel performance; and (6) giving public awareness campaigns on waste disposal.

The objectives of the Taiz Municipal Development and Flood Protection Project for the Republic of Yemen are to assist the recipient in: (a) protecting residents, economic activities and infrastructure from destructive effects of seasonal flooding in Taiz, Hadramout and AlMahra; (b) restoring access to critical road infrastructure damaged by the floods; and (c) strengthening the capacity of local governments and support decentralization.
... See More + The changes are required in order to allow for the successful completion of ongoing activities under component one: Flood Protection and Infrastructure Rehabilitation (US dollar 38.3 million equivalents, of which International Development Association share is US dollar 32.8 million equivalents). The proposed restructuring will have no impact on the project description nor will it modify the Project Development Objectives (PDO). The results framework will be adjusted to reflect the proposed extension and clarify some of the existing results measurements.

The affected population is part of Yemen's Akhdam caste, which is the very bottom of the country's social structure and belongs to the poorest of the poor.
... See More + In addition to providing the right of way necessary for infrastructural works, the goal of the resettlement component is to relocate this vulnerable population without worsening its already dire situation. Instead, the circumstances of the affected population make it necessary and possible for the Resettlement Action Plan (RAP) to address relocation as a development opportunity to at least partly improve their livelihood. This objective is strongly supported also by the Governor of Taiz. This objective will be achieved through risk mitigation and provisions for relocation assistance, house rebuilding, individual services, and to the extent feasible, employment opportunities. The adequate implementation of the RAP will increase the positive poverty impacts of the project. To prevent further impoverishment and worsening of the Akhdam's situation, the RAP includes explicit risk-management and safeguard provisions against the following typical socio-economic risks: loss of access to land and water; loss of housing and of access to employment; increased morbidity; food insecurity; further marginalization; loss of access to common resources; and the risk of social disarticulation.

The objectives of the Additional Financing for the Taiz Municipal Development and Flood Protection Project for the Republic of Yemen are to: (i) strengthening the institutional capacity of the local government in the Taiz Governorate to carry out its mandate under the Local Authority Law; and (ii) protecting the residents and businesses of the city of Taiz, as well as the city's infrastructure, from seasonal destructive flooding.
... See More + The credit amount is fully committed and all activities under the project will be completed by the current closing date of October 31, 2010. The outcomes and outputs recorded in the recent Implementation Status and Results (ISRs) reveal that the impact of the project has been consistent with the expectation set out in the Project Paper. The ISR ratings for both the implementation progress and development objectives have been satisfactory. The reallocation is required mainly to offset the deficit in the consultancy category as a result of inclusion of a study to prepare detailed plans, engineering designs and bidding documents for priority flood protection investments and an integrated storm water management plan. The study was initiated in response to a request from the government based on which an allocation of US$30 million was included in the 2009 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) to cover the investment costs for priority flood protection works that would come out from this study.
