Project Detail:
The PRF will contribute to the operational priorities by designing climate-resilient urban infrastructure to acceptable standards and coverage, including access for the poor and vulnerable; strengthening institutional capacity and improving resource mobilization of the AMC; boosting technical, procurement, and financial capacities of agencies to prepare and undertake the ensuing project; and supporting the ongoing and proposed sector and institutional reforms. During PRF implementation, climate change mitigation and adaptation components will be incorporated into the ensuing project design to ensure alignment with the Paris Agreement.
The PRF will ensure high readiness of the ensuing project by achieving the following outputs, which will be realized by mobilizing consulting services for project preparation, under the supervision and coordination of the Tripura government, the UDD, the AMC, and ADB.
Output 1: Feasibility studies, detailed engineering designs, and due diligence of identified subprojects completed. The output will be achieved by performing a preliminary analysis of the NEEC report and the urban strategy being prepared, leading to identification of potential subprojects consistent with the strategy and NEEC. Deliverables consist of (i) feasibility studies; (ii) detailed project reports for identified subprojects; (iii) due diligence of the detailed project reports covering technical, economic, and financial analysis; environmental and social safeguards; gender equality and social inclusion analysis and planning; and climate risk assessment, including preparation of a climate and disaster resilience framework; (iv) a report on the COVID-19 pandemics impact on project preparation, implementation, and cost; and (v) project strategic procurement planning, including contract management plans, preparation of procurement related documents, and support for the bidding process and the ensuing loanprocessing
activities.
Output 2: Institutional capacity strengthened. The output will be achieved by (i) building capacity in financial management, procurement, climate change, safeguards, gender equality and social inclusion, operation and management, and sustainability, through training, workshops and seminars;
(ii) strengthening the AMC's governance and systems; (iii) preparing a geographic information system based municipal resource mobilization road map to be implemented during the ensuing project; and (iv) preparing a digital strategy and/or e-governance solutions for municipal services in line with the National Urban Digital Mission.
