| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The TA will build on the government's efforts and partner with four executing agencies, with each focusing on a unique segment in the lifecycle of DRM. The TA will (i) improve the understanding of disaster risk in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region (GZAR); (ii) develop solutions for disaster resilience enhancement, including (a) recommendations and measures to reduce disaster risk in GZAR, (b) flood storage and detention area model accommodated to local socioeconomic development and climate change, and (c) resilient city development including urban planning, construction, and management with a focus on smart technologies, operation, and financing; (iii) conduct a research on rapid action team for flood and typhoon mitigation in Fujian Province; and (iv) foster regional collaboration on investment in resilience. Within the PRC, the TA will have a wide geographic coverage, consisting of provinces and cities with various levels of economic development, which will provide basis to assess the cost-effectiveness of various options for investment in resilience. The implementation of the TA will foster institutional coordination among four implementing agencies, strengthening institutional cooperation and disaster risk governance. The TA will generate regional public goods by promoting knowledge and experience sharing among the PRC and selected disaster-prone countries, and establishing bilateral and multilateral frameworks to promote investment in resilience, supported by the Greater Mekong Subregion Urban Development Strategic Framework, 2015 -2022 and Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation 2030 Strategic Framework. | ||||||||||
