| Description | The transaction technical assistance (TRTA) will help the GOR prepare the proposed investment program. The TRTA will carry out due diligence on technical, economic, financial, governance, safeguards, gender, poverty, social, natural hazard and climate resilience aspects for the ensuing investment program. The TRTA will enhance project readiness by assisting the GOR in undertaking advance actions, including identification of lands for project facilities. The GOR has taken advance actions of preparing detailed project reports (DPRs) and bidding documents for the subprojects under the RSTDIP. The TRTA will assist in the preparation of a sector assessment, road maps, and investment plan, and a pre-feasibility study for future projects. | ||||
| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | Assisting the target secondary towns along the capital city, Jaipur, is an integral part of investment program preparation, without which the program implementation may face significant start-up delays. The TRTA is synchronized to maximize knowledge transfer and suggest the ways to suitably coordinate with ongoing and other proposed projects in water and wastewater sectors in Rajasthan. | ||||
