Guyana - Resilient, Green and Inclusive Flood Investment Baseline for the Georgetown Metropolitan Area

The objective of this grant is to
provide support to the Government of Guyana in building
climate and flood resilience in the Georgetown metropolitan
area. This proposed TA will support building climate and flood resilience in
the Georgetown metropolitan area and expansion zones, by supporting the Government
of Guyana to better understand the hydrological regime. The project will
finance the development of a technical foundation for a master plan
of future interventions. The issues include strengthening
understanding of the urban drainage system and inter-linkages with the drainage
system in the coastal zone surrounding Georgetown, identifying bottlenecks
and opportunities for improvement taking into account possible future
urban expansion that is expected following large discoveries of off-shore oil,
and capacity building so that the Government is able to better manage
and maintain the drainage system.
