1 The Integrated Urban Services and Resilience Improvement Project will strengthen the resilience of the population in Majuro and Ebeye through improved urban services, which will help households to better withstand and adapt to climate change impacts including extended drought, increased flood risk, storm surge, and sea-level rise. The project will enhance the water security of Majuro communities through the provision of a continuous potable piped water supply system. Improved solid waste management systems and upgraded sewage pumping stations will reduce the potential spread of vector-borne disease and improve oceans health. The sustainability and resilience of urban services will be further enhanced by building the institutional capacity and financial performance of utility service providers in Majuro and introducing 5-year operations and maintenance contracts with the private sector. 2 The project is aligned with the following impacts: (i) resilience of RMI and its environmental assets to the impacts of climate change and natural disasters enhanced; (ii) access of all Marshallese to potable drinking water and sanitation systems secured; and (iii) reliable infrastructure for effective management of waste, chemicals, and pollutants established. The project will have the following outcome: sustainability, circularity, and climate and disaster resilience of urban services in the RMI improved. 3 The project has three outputs which are: (i) Output 1: Resilient and sustainable water and sanitation facilities and services in Majuro provided, (ii) Output 2: Circular economy and waste services delivery in Majuro enhanced, and (iii) Output 3: Climate resilience and road connectivity in Ebeye improved. 4 The works and services that have been selected and are funded by the Project are considered those that best address the impacts and meet the outcomes and outputs within the available funding.
