After a rigorous selection process, the
UK has been chosen as the delivery partner of the Reconstruction Program to provide international expertise in major prevention programs and to rebuild critical infrastructure affected by the El Niño phenomenon.
The Reconstruction with Changes Program includes the reconstruction of 74 schools and 15 new health centers.
As El Niño is a recurring phenomenon, the project also includes for the UK to support Peru in its prevention work on several infrastructure amenities, including the construction of 7 storm drainage systems.
The UK delivery team will deliver technical assistance in relation to the provision of schools, medical facilities and flood resilience programs. This major infrastructure program is critical for Peru's economic recovery from the damage caused by El Niño.
Following the success of the Lima 2019 Games, this is another great example of UK-Peru collaboration and is a testimony of UK businesses' support for international projects that tackle natural disasters.
This agreement will last for two years, starting from July 2020 to June 2022, with the possibility to extend by one year.
