UK-Peru partnership shares infrastructure delivery expertise
An infrastructure delivery partnership with the Peruvian Government is showing how UK engineering expertise can be shared internationally.
Excessive rainfall battered the Peruvian coast in early 2017, triggering serious flooding and fatal landslides. The extreme weather event has been attributed to a coastal El Niño climate pattern, which involves the unusual warming of surface water in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean.
The monsoon-like downpours and subsequent landslides were the worst to hit Peru in almost a century, causing more than 100 fatalities, leaving thousands homeless and destroying critical infrastructure.
As part of the drive to rebuild and protect these affected communities, the Peruvian Government established the Authority for Reconstruction with Changes (ARCC) to deliver an ambitious reconstruction programme.
