The objective of the El Nino Emergency Flood Project is to offset the damaging impact of El Nino in: i) six northwestern provinces and three Cuyo provinces; and ii) seven littoral provinces through additional works above and beyond the Flood Protection Project. The project has been designed with two geographical components: one for the six northwestern provinces and the three Cuyo provinces, and another for the seven participating littoral provinces. A third component is designed to strengthen the administrative and technical capacity to coordinate the implementation of the project. The operation will be implemented in two phases: 1) a protection phase of 12 months for the northwestern provinces, which includes acquiring of goods and execution of works for emergency river flood control; and b) a rehabilitation phase for both geographic regions, which includes transport infrastructure, drainage systems, education and health facilities. In addition, there is a capacity-building subcomponent for the northwestern provinces to manage flood emergencies and a small scale housing subcomponent for housing reconstruction.
