Overall, project implementation is progressing well and the following has been completed: • 2,382 resilient permanent houses under an owner-driven model • 9 public buildings (7 primary schools, one health sub-center, and one Government Inter-College) • Over 1,000km of roads • 6 motor bridges In addition, the Uttarakhand State Disaster Management Authority (USDMA) is now operational, and the capacity of the State Disaster Response Force (SDRF) was significantly strengthened. The SDRF is now providing critical search and rescue services in the State, having conducted over 250 operations rescuing over 3,500 people since its inception in 2013. Although there has been appreciable improvement, the following areas still show some weakness: (i) timely completion of works; (ii) proper supervision to ensure construction quality and compliance with environmental and social standards; and (iii) contract management. The Project's closing date was extended by 18 months from December 31, 2017 to June 30, 2019 to successfully complete all project activities.
