Overview
- The transfer, formalized Sunday in Supreme Decree No. 088-2026-EF, draws on the National Civil Defense Institute’s budget through FONDES, a fund for disaster risk and emergency projects.
- Resources will pay for 91 prioritized interventions, with 45 focused on damage from recent heavy rains and 46 set to prevent new risks.
- Local governments will receive the money as current spending on goods and services to speed immediate work on the ground.
- Officials must complete program disaggregation and budget coding within five days, and the decree bars any use outside the stated emergency tasks.
- MEF said projects include clearing affected areas, repairing roads, and restoring infrastructure to bring services back faster, and the ministry will keep tracking the rains to assess further support.
