Project name: Roadmap for Health and Coastal Infrastructure Resilience of the Republic of Marshall Islands (RMI)
This project enhances the resilience of coastal and health infrastructure to climate risks, helping ensure continued access to essential services.
Comprehensive assessments of infrastructure gaps and the capacities of the health and coastal sectors evaluate RMI’s enabling environment, including institutions, processes, and personnel, to plan, deliver, and sustain resilient infrastructure.
A prioritized action plan guides the implementation of key capacity-strengthening measures, particularly in infrastructure asset management.
