- The technical assistance (TA) supported by the World Banks Global Program for Safer Schools (GPSS) and the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery (GFDRR) under the Component 2 (Improving the Safety of School Infrastructure (US$ 12M)) of Enhancing Resilience in Kyrgyzstan (ERIK) project, is aiming to support the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic to efficiently improve the safety and functional conditions of schools in areas of highest seismic hazard in the country. The work under this TA is to provide analytical support to the government in preparation of a long-term national risk reduction strategy for school infrastructure. With the analytical work conducted by the Applied Technology Council (ATC), three typical school building types in the country with high seismic risk are identified, their seismic performance is assessed, and performance-based retrofitting options in terms of increments are proposed. Building upon the analytical results, a risk-based prioritization framework is developed using a benefit-cost ratio integrating seismic hazard, structural performance, and school occupancy. As a result, a prioritization rank of schools eligible for ERIK project is established to support the selection of the most cost-efficient intervention strategy and investment plan. The work enables informed decisions of the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic to optimize the investment plan for seismic risk reduction of school infrastructure at scale.
