Description
The proposed TA will help the government of Armenia and the ADB team prepare a $250 million Seismic Safety Improvement Program (SSIP)-3, improving school and other infrastructure to make them seismically safe, with additional components from the original SSIP-1/2, such as climate resilience education and education reforms. The proposed loan will be processed using an MFF with a few tranches using an RBL modality.
Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy
TA support is needed to assist overall program processing in the areas of fiduciary, procurement, and safeguards risk assessments applying ADB policies for MFF and RBL modalities. The team also needs experts in seismic safety and structural engineering who will help assess the status of school seismic safety and develop the strategic and most efficient seismic safety strategy for SSIP schools, together with the overall lead consultant for this program processing, using the MFF and RBL combination, as this is the first time ADB is using this combination.
