- Project Framework
Project Objective: The objective of the Program is to strengthen early warning, resilient investments and financial protection of participating countries.
Project Component / Grant Type / Expected Outcomes / Expected Outputs / Trust Fund / GEF Project Financing($) / Confirmed Cofinancing
($)
Component 1: Strengthening Early Warning and Preparedness / INV / The objective of this component is to increase the resilience of the participating Phase I countries and the Pacific region as a whole to natural hazards (i.e., cyclones, coastal/riverine flooding, etc.) the impacts of which are expected to be exacerbated by climate change. This will be done by improving the quality of forecasting and warning services as well as strenthening disaster preparedness. /
- Investments in Early Warning and Preparedness in Tonga, including:
-Modernized observation infrastructure, data management systems, forecasting and warning systems
-Enhancedservice delivery system including an integrated multi hazard early warning system, and impact forecast and warning services that deliver actionable information to the public at risk and to emergency services.
- Strenthened impact forecasting capability in Tonga
- Enhanced disaster preparedness capacity in Tonga
- Strengthened regional post disaster Recovery capacity
Component 2: Mainstreaming Risk Reduction and Resilient Investments / INV/TA / The objective of this Component is to support a multi-sectoral planning process for integrating climate and disaster risk and resilience into development. /
- Investments that strengthen climate and disaster resilience in Tonga (i.e. (retrofitting of key public assets), with a particular focus on strengthening public school buildings to act as emergency evacuation centers
- a multi-sectoral planning process for integrating climate and disaster risk and resilience into development that will initially be used for Samoa and Tonga but which could be scaled up for use in other countries in the region.
- strengthened data and tools to make risk information actionable and support planning and preparation of national infrastructure and community resilience investments in participating countries.
- A multi-sectoral investment plan for Tonga for a program in resilience which will:
-prepare feasibility studies for selected priority investments that could be implemented during Phase II or by other donors. / sccf / 1,380,479 / 7,206,171
Component 3: Disaster Risk Financing / TA / The objective of this component is to strengthen the financial resilience of the participating PICs to disaster events (the impacts of which are expected to be exacerbated by climate change) by enabling them to secure access to immediate liquidity post disaster for low, medium and high risk events. Accordingly, this component will support the development and implementation of an integrated disaster risk financing strategy that provides an optimal combination of risk retention (for high frequency, low severity events) and risk transfer (for low frequency, high severity events) for participating countries. This will include both national instruments and regional instruments, and will build on the PCRAFI pilot insurance scheme. /
- The wider program will support continuation of the PCRAFI insurance scheme via payments of insurance premiums for 3 years for Samoa, Tonga, Vanuatu and RMI, however this subcomponent will not be financed through SCCF.
- A contingency emergency response mechanism for Tongathat would provide quick disbursements to meet the immediate liquidity needs following a disaster event. This mechanism could be used to finance critical imports or emergency recovery and reconstruction works and associated services.
- Strengthened capacity inTonga to enable them to oversee and administer disaster risk financing instruments, climate finance and implementation of thecontingency emergency response mechanism (see above)
- Preparatory activities carried out by PIFS which will be required to better define a medium and long term disaster risk financing framework (e,g.,a mutual insurance fund),that it is envisaged would be implemented in Phase II of the Program
