The project will use the Systematic Tracking of Exchanges in Procurement (STEP) system to provide data on planned procurement activities, establish benchmarks, monitor delays, and measure procurement performance. 77. **A Project Procurement Strategy for Development (PPSD) has been prepared by the Recipient.** The PPSD highlights the market, procurement risks, procurement options, and selection methods to be followed by the IAs during implementation of the Procurement Plan. The Procurement Plan for the first 18 months is annexed in the PPSD and will be updated at least annually or as required to reflect changes in the AWPB. 23 The Auditor General’s report for DRDIP I for the year ending June 30, 2024, identified network challenges and unstable electricity in Madi-Okollo, Obongi, Terego, and Kibuuke districts. 24 The audit reports for 2022/2023 that had an unqualified (clean) audit opinion were for Isingiro, Kamwenge, and Obongi districts. 2023/2024 audit reports were not available on the Auditor General’s website.

Economics of Disasters and Climate Change vulnerability even as the climate change hazard increases (Hallegatte et al. 2016). Along these lines, while we examine which regions within Vietnam have the highest flood exposure, we do not examine the determinants of vulnerability (other than poverty). Recent analyses suggest that the Northwest, Central Highlands, and Mekong River Delta have the greatest socioeconomic vulnerability (World Bank 2010). In the flood hazard maps developed for this paper, we assume no protection due to a lack of data and as a result the hazard maps present an upper bound of flood exposure. Work is currently ongoing to develop a global database of flood protection, and this information can be mobilized for future work (Scussolini et al. 2016). For the national-level analysis, flooded areas are defined as any area with inundation higher than 0. We have not yet explored the depth dimension, although the flood hazard maps developed for this study allow for this potential in future work. For the HCMC analysis, the location of the slum areas in the PUMA data set are mainly restricted to the old town. Furthermore, slum areas are often difficult to define (with PUMA only identifying potential slums) and the
zones by constructing a buffer around each storm polyline whose width is the storm’s radial distance from center to the zone of maximum wind speed. For high-resolution location of landfalls, we construct a coastal boundary polyline for Bangladesh, West Bengal and Odisha. Then we convert the coastal polyline into points spaced evenly at intervals of .001 decimal degrees (approximately 100 meters). The resulting set of ordered points along the coastline is numbered successively from 0 (southern tip of the Odisha coastline) to 11,327 (southern tip of the Bangladesh coastline). For each storm track, we identify the landfall as the closest ordered point where the track first intersects the coastline. [3] To guard against exclusion bias from regional bounding, we include intersecting storm tracks within 20 km of the southernmost coastal points in Odisha and Bangladesh. We identify a storm’s coastal impact zone as the set of ordered coastal points within the radius-buffered storm track polygon at its first coastal intersection. **3. Aggregate Results** **3.1 Trend in Cyclonic Storm Incidence, 1877-2016** Although we focus on the northern coast of the Bay of Bengal, our database includes all recorded tracks for the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea.

Country Context** 1. **Costa Rica has been one of the most politically stable, progressive, and prosperous nations in the Latin America** **and the Caribbean (LAC) region.** Successive administrations have prioritized the social welfare and development of the Costa Rican people. Political stability, the social compact, and steady growth have resulted in one of the lowest poverty rates in LAC (2023 poverty headcount rate at upper middle-income poverty line was 12.7 percent). [1] The country of 5.33 million inhabitants became a member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) in 2021. The economy is diverse, and based mainly on services, tourism, and exports of products such as electronics and medical devices. Trade (Exports+Imports) formed 80 percent of Costa Rica’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2022 (compared to 57 percent for LAC) [2] and the country has also built a world renowned “Green Trademark” centered on conservation, reforestation, and protected areas. 2. **The country has recovered quickly from the COVID-19 shock on key macroeconomic indicators, but it faces new** **challenges such as heightened migrant and refugee flows** . The unemployment rate reached a high of 20
### **ALGERIA** **Protection** CRITICAL FUNDING NEEDS IN MENA / 10 OCTOBER 2024 Critical funding need: **$5.5 million** Refugee access to crucial legal and identity documents will be diminished, severely restricting their access to essential services and increasing their vulnerability. For instance, UNHCR has registered 2,455 individuals so far in 2024, but the average waiting time for the asylum-seeking process is currently 126 days, while registration takes around 156 days. Without additional funding, these delays could be prolonged, leaving people in legal limbo and unable to work or access rights. GBV survivors and others at risk will not have access to safe shelters, psychosocial support, medical care, or access to economic opportunities to facilitate their effective reintegration into the community. **WASH** UNHCR supports the entire refugee population in the five camps near Tindouf – more than 90,000 refugees [1] - with lifesaving health and WASH activities. UNHCR will be unable to replace deteriorating reservoirs, extend the water distribution network, or enhance water storage and management. This would lead to increased risks of water shortages and contamination, endangering the health of the refugees. Substandard waste and sanitary management would also pose significant health hazards to the camp residents. Access to quality obstetric
EA were randomly sampled. As table 1 illustrates, 5,530 of the sample households were involved in agricultural activities. Of these, about 31%, or 1,728 with 5,448 parcels, are mixed owner/occupants who operated at least one parcel under full ownership and one under usufruct. This sub-sample forms the basis for our analysis. Descriptive statistics point towards a number of interesting features. First, cultivation of land that is only occupied rather than owned is widespread; only some 49% of cultivators are pure owners, 20% cultivate only occupied land, and about 31% are owner-cum-occupants who cultivate owned and occupied land simultaneously. Second, although per capita expenditure by those in agriculture is, with about 19 12 To check whether this introduces any non-randomness, we compare total asset endowments and their composition, monthly consumption expenditure, and basic demographic characteristics between households who are included and those who have at least some parcels dropped. And find no significant differences in either of them. 13 Information on crop output was collected at the crop level, separately for the two main agricultural seasons (July - December 2004 and January - June 2005). A diary was used for continuously harvested crops and prices, in addition to standard socio-economic information,
The Regional Bureau for East and Horn of Africa, together with the Child Protection Unit at HQ, organised a series of regional webinars for UNHCR staff on increasing the quality of alternative care and responding to the needs of newly separated children in the region, in addition to engaging community volunteers in the development of Best Interests Procedures. The Refugee Child Protection Online Community of Practice has been updated by the Child Protection Unit at HQ to provide COVID-19 related news, guidance, tools and other information. The Community of Practice encourages child protection workers and managers to contribute questions, recommendations, field practices, and guidance so that, collaboratively, continually improving child protection responses during the COVID-19 pandemic can be shaped and better outcomes achieved. With global partners, and support from the Swiss Government, UNHCR’s Child Protection Unit developed a Massive Online Open Course (MOOC) on adapting child protection case management during the pandemic. Targeting frontline workers, the six-week course provides practical guidance and peer exchange on key approaches to responding to the protection needs of individual children at risk. As of mid-July, over 7,000 individuals were registered to participate in the course. UNHCR also provided input into the Alliance for Child
the importance of: (i) investing in often underserved host communities to strengthen social cohesion; (ii) communicating project benefits and managing misinformation; and (iii) mitigating the risks of traditional livelihood activities, due to their long production cycles and exposure to externalities, such as climate change. The project will also build on lessons from **the Integrated Cash Transfer and Human Capital Project (PITCH)** (P166220), implemented in Djibouti from 2018 to 2023, which: (i) established the foundations of a social registry (SR), addressing challenges like data accuracy and inclusion errors; (ii) demonstrated the effectiveness of integrating cash transfers with social behavior change communication (SBCC) and community-based measures to enhance outcomes in nutrition, child health, and education; and (iii) highlighted the success of training advising mothers in improving behaviors such as exclusive breastfeeding and health service utilization. The PITCH further demonstrated Djibouti’s capacity to implement small community-driven infrastructures while revealing communities' need for larger and more sustainable infrastructure. The project will also learn from other operations currently under implementation, which are implementing in underserved and refugee-hosting areas, including: (i) Skills for Development (P175483), which seeks to improve the employability and employment outcomes of technical and vocational education and training graduates, as well as (ii)

Regional and Global Vulnerability of Coastal Zones to Climate Change and Sea-Level Rise (DINAS-Coast) project. In particular: _Country boundaries and regions and coastlines_ . Country coastlines were extracted from the World Vector Shoreline, a standard National Geospatial Intelligence Agency (formerly Defense Mapping Agency) product at a nominal scale of 1:250,000. World Bank (2010) information is used in the regional classifications and boundaries. In addition, Exclusive Economic Zone data from VLIZ (2011) identifies the maritime boundaries. _Elevation._ For elevation, all coastal tiles of 90m Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM) data, which are 5 geographic degrees latitude and longitude (approximately 500 kilometers by 500 kilometers), were downloaded from http://srtm.csi.cgiar.org/. _Wetlands._ Data on wetlands were extracted from all wetlands Global Lakes and Wetlands Database (GLWD-3) produced by the Center for Environmental Systems Research (CESR), 6

Savings of up to US$1.20 per month per beneficiary are expected to be mobilized throughout the project's six-year lifespan, bringing the PCM to US$10 million. The same sub-component is also verified as Private Capital Enabling. It will strengthen Producer Organizations (POs) and establish Cluster Value Chain Facilities. It is expected to increase access to formal finance for project-supported institutions, including POs, Common Interest Groups (CIGs), and Village Revolving Funds (VRFs). This is captured under a non-monetary results indicator (Project-supported institutions that access formal finance (number)), which measures the capacity of group-based enterprises to engage with formal financial institutions. 11. **Uganda remains eligible to access financing from the IDA WHR** . The World Bank, following consultations with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), has determined that Uganda’s refugee protection framework remains adequate for the purposes of the WHR. The Refugees Act Cap 312 and the 2010 Refugee Regulations provide a strong legal and regulatory framework for refugee rights. However, UNHCR protection assessments have raised concerns that will need to be addressed
exposure of wetlands to a 1 m SLR. Low elevation wetlands are within the Low Elevation Coastal Zone [17] . For the area calculation, grids representing cell areas in square kilometers at different resolutions were created, using the length of a degree of latitude and longitude at the cell center. [18] According to the GLWD-3 and the DTM, 76 countries and territories in five World Bank regions have coastal wetlands which are currently at 1 m from sea level. In the DIVA database, wetlands are not located within the most extreme responses: WMP1 or WMP5. If wetlands can migrate (WMP category 2), then they may survive in their current location to the extent that natural migration or wetland accretion keeps pace with sea-level rise (Titus, 1988). Wetlands in WMP category 3 cannot migrate, and the human resources 17 Coastal zone with elevation derived from SRTM which is 10 or less meters above sea level. 18 Latitude and longitude were specified in decimal degrees.

former refugees in Zambia.** **[10]** The majority of refugees and asylum seekers originate from the Democratic Republic of Congo; other significant refugee populations are from Burundi, Somalia, Angola, and Rwanda. Zambia continues to receive new arrivals of refugees and asylum seekers—approximately 600–800 refugees arrive each month from the South Kivu, Haut-Katanga, and Tanganyika provinces in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Women and children make up 58 percent of refugees, while 3 percent are elderly and persons living with disabilities. 8. **Former refugees are people who escaped civil war in Angola and Rwanda in the 1994 genocide against the Tutsi** **who have lived in Zambia for several decades** . Their refugee status has ceased, making them effectively stateless and facing multiple barriers to accessing livelihood opportunities and services. The requirement to have national identification or residence documents has been an impediment for many former refugees. Many former Rwandan refugees fear returning to their home country while application fees for passports are unaffordable for many. The GRZ has offered to integrate former Angolan refugees who arrived between 1966 and 1986. However, most of those who arrived after 1986 do not have any form of identification. The risk of statelessness extends to children

Project Strategic Context** 1. **Djibouti, a small country of 23,200 square kilometers with a population of approximately 1 million,** **faces** **significant poverty challenges, particularly in rural areas, where 27.2 percent of the population resides** . Strategically located at the southern entrance to the Red Sea, it acts as a bridge between Africa and the Middle East and hosts multiple foreign military bases supporting global anti-piracy. However, recent geopolitical tensions have reduced commercial ship traffic, leading to increased food prices and reduced availability of essential goods, disproportionately affecting the most vulnerable. These challenges are compounded by limited economic diversification, scarce arable land and low annual rainfall, which result in heavy reliance on imports for basic needs like water and food [1] . As a result, the economy remains highly vulnerable to external shocks, including market downturns. Additionally, climate change exacerbates existing pressures, with rising temperatures and erratic rainfall further straining local resources and food security. 2. **These economic and climate constraints contribute to persistently high levels of inequality and social** **vulnerability** .

However, there have been recurrent delays in procurement processing and reporting for both agencies, leading to the assessment of procurement risk at this stage as substantial. To mitigate this risk, the procurement officers of each agency will receive close follow-up and support from the World Bank to ensure appropriate procurement planning and implementation. Page 24

The PSC will sign off on the Annual Work Plan and Budget (AWPB) and ensure consistency with national standards and policies across the different sectors, including the upcoming GoR Refugee Graduation Strategy. Complementing the PSC will be a Project Technical Committee, which comprises the same agencies as the PSC, but with technical level staff. The PTC will meet prior to PSC meetings to review progress reports and AWPBs in detail. **Figure 1: Implementation Arrangements** Page 14
Economics of Disasters and Climate Change Exposure to flooding was again evaluated using flood extent (we also evaluate flood depth, for full results, see online supplementary materials). We examine the flood extent both for all urban areas (the whole HCMC province) and for those areas defined as potential slums (from the PUMA data set) to examine how exposure to floods is different in slum areas. Again we use a number of events, from the case of regular flooding (10-year event) to more extreme flooding events (1000-year event). Moreover, we examine how this exposure changes due to climate change (proxied by sea level rise changes), by running the analysis with flood hazard maps taking into account a 30 cm sea level rise. In each district and across the whole city, we examine the percentage of area within each of the two categories (all urban areas, and potential slum areas) that is exposed to floods and the percentage which is not exposed to floods. We then compare these values across the two categories. Results National-Level Analysis for Poverty and Exposure to Floods Flood Exposure (with and without Climate Change) For the entire country of Vietnam, at the district level, we estimate the
Refugees (UNHCR), has determined that Uganda’s refugee protection framework remains adequate for the purposes of the WHR. The Refugees Act Cap 312 and the 2010 Refugee Regulations provide a strong legal and regulatory framework for refugee rights. However, UNHCR protection assessments have raised concerns that will need to be addressed through humanitarian and development financing, including poor water and sanitation conditions, social service deficits, cuts to food rations, and a reduction in activities promoting self-reliance. **II.** **PROJECT DESCRIPTION** **A.

To improve access to basic social and economic services, expand economic opportunities and enhance environmental management for host communities and refugees in the target areas. **B. Theory of Change and PDO Indicators** 13. The Project Development Objective (PDO) indicators are: - Displaced people and people in host communities provided with improved access to services (number, of which refugees, host community members, and women (percentage)) (corporate scorecard indicator); - Households benefiting from activities and actions that expand and enable economic activity (number, of which refugees, host community members, and women (percentage)); and - People benefitting from enhanced resilience of terrestrial and aquatic systems (number, of which refugees, host community members, women, and youth (number)) (corporate scorecard indicator). **Theory
of these analyses present estimates of the economic values, which may be associated to these lost wetland areas around the world. The valuation studies by Tol (2007) and Anthoff et al. (2010) are also based on wetland losses derived from the Global Vulnerability Analysis (Hoozemans et al. 1993). Wetland value is assumed to be logistic in per capita income, with a correction for wetland scarcity, and a cap in these studies and the rate of pure time preference is assumed to be 1%. For a 1m SLR by 2100, Tol (2007) estimated annual costs of wetland loss as a percentage of GDP, per country and Anthoff et al (2010) assessed the net present value of global coastal wetland damage costs for the period 2005-2100 with dikes to protect against SLR can be as high as USD 160 billion. [ 25] Due to uneven coverage of the wetland stock and different assumptions of coastal protection, comparison of the prior research with our estimates proved to be difficult. ##### **Conclusion** Coastal wetlands will decline with rising sea level. In this paper, we have quantified the vulnerable freshwater marsh, swamp forest, GLWD Coastal Wetlands, and brackish/saline wetlands taking into account the exposure of
