5: CENTRAL AMERICA AND CARIBBEAN: Strategy and Approach for Implementation Support The strategy for World Bank implementation support is based on the nature of the proposed Project and its risk profile. As per the ORAF, overall implementation risk is rated as Substantial, due to the challenges that may derive from the inter-institutional arrangements and the large number of necessary partners in the process. Accordingly, the implementation support will focus initially on ensuring that stakeholder engagement mechanisms are adequately implemented. At the same time, significant amounts of technical studies, analyses and reports will have to be generated in order to inform tailored discussions with stakeholders. Specialized / follow-up missions of particular team members will be scheduled. The World Bank team will continue to coordinate with other development partners supporting catastrophe risk insurance (and DRM generally) across the Central America and Caribbean The World Bank Task Team will maintain a close interaction and will share mission findings promptly with relevant authorities and stakeholders. The strategy is proposed as an indicative and flexible instrument which will be adjusted during project implementation and as part of the Implementation Status and Results Reports (ISR) and adjusted based on Project conditions. Implementation Support Plan Task team leadership as well as fiduciary and technical aspects will be managed from the World Bank’s Washington office. The World Bank will hire international and national consultants if necessary to round out the skills mix of its implementation support team. The main focus of implementation support is summarized below.
