All the defects liability certificates have been issued. Stage 3 civil works consists of ten contract packages, one package for the construction of four farmers water user community buildings, and another package for installation of 8 Automatic Weather Stations (AWS) and 10 hydromet stations. Construction works of all ten civil works packages including contract variation of two access roads have been completed. Eight of them have been issued the defects liability certificates. The remaining two subprojects, CW13 and CW08, are under defects liability period till July and September 2018 respectively. Also, the contract for installation of AWS and hydromet stations have also completed and in operations. Stage 2 and 3 subprojects together will provide irrigated water to 73,507 ha of which 68,614 ha in wet season and 4,893 ha in dry season. As 31 March 2018, the project target of at least 25% of unskilled workdays created for women, have been generally achieved.

Workers begin laying foundation-stone for a newly constructed bridge in Kampong Cham province.
Workers begin laying foundation-stone for a newly constructed bridge in Kampong Cham province.

The flooding of the Mekong River and the Tonle Sap hit Cambodia hard in 2011. 18 out of 24 provinces in the country experienced inundation, 250 people died, and more than 1.7 million were affected. More than 400,000 hectares (ha) of rice crops were affected of which almost 230,000 ha were severely damaged or destroyed (9.3% of the cultivated area). 1,675 livestock were lost, and more than 70,000 drinking water wells were contaminated.

The floods caused $625 million worth of losses and damages, with infrastructure damage pegged at $376 million - including roads (national, provincial, and rural); irrigation facilities; water supply and sanitation facilities; schools; and health centers.

The flooding posed a serious challenge to development and the livelihoods of people; particularly on the poor and socially disadvantaged, such as women and children.

The $60 million Flood Damage Emergency Reconstruction Project (FDERP) will rebuild 524 kilometers of roads, six bridges and 26 irrigation systems in six severely-affected provinces, including Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom, Prey Veng, and Siem Reap. The project will improve access to market and social services, restore people's livelihoods by increasing agriculture productivity and help strengthen disaster management systems at all levels. The project will provide short-term employment and much-needed income to poor women and men through jobs on rehabilitating damaged roads and irrigation infrastructure.

20 October 2015: Updates on Project Progress

Output 1: National and Provincial Roads Restoration. All ten contracts have been completed. These include the reconstruction of 2.8 km of detour road/dyke in Prey Veng, 8.5 km of provincial road (PR) 270 in Kampong Cham; 8.1 km of PR 270; 34.4 km of PR 159 in Banteay Meanchey; and reconstruction of 14 bridges.

Output 2: Rural Roads Restoration. All five Stage 2 contracts for the reconstruction of 275.2 km of rural roads have been completed. All five Stage 3 contracts, which provide laterite surfacing of 175.9 km of rural roads and rehabilitation of 165 structures have also been completed.

Output 3: Irrigation and Flood Control. All twenty subprojects have been completed. Together, all subprojects are capable of irrigating 25,371 ha, equivalent to 101% of the targeted irrigated areas of 25,000 ha.

04 September 2012: ADB Briefs Media on the Flood Damage Emergency Reconstruction Project for Press Trip

Phnom Penh, Cambodia: The Asian Development Bank (ADB) on Tuesday held a briefing with 20 journalists about an upcoming press trip to view progress of the Flood Damage Emergency Reconstruction Project (FDERP), a joint project of ADB and the governments of Australia and Cambodia.

The press trip on 5 September 2012 will take journalists to Kampong Cham and Prey Veng provinces to see the $1.25 million reconstruction of a road and a bridge known as KC1B, the $3.38 million rehabilitation of a dyke and bridge known as CW1, and the $1.96 million reconstruction of another bridge known as CW2.

The $67.18 million FDERP will rebuild or repair 524 kilometers of roads, six bridges and 26 irrigation systems in six provinces severely affected by the 2011 floods, including Banteay Meanchey, Battambang, Kampong Cham, Kampong Thom, Prey Veng, and Siem Reap.

"The rehabilitation of roads, bridges and irrigation schemes will not only improve agricultural productivity and access to markets and social services, it will also provide short-term employment opportunity to poor women and men" said Peter Brimble, Deputy Country Director of ADB Cambodia Resident Mission at the briefing.

FDERP is a three-year project, concluding in 2015, with a $55 million in concession loan from ADB, a $5.25 million grant from the Government of Australia, and $6.93 million from the Cambodian government.
