Why it matters
Recurring deaths and erosion make outcomes more important than allocations alone. Project locations, completion rates and reduced exposure are necessary to judge whether the spending improved resilience.
Evidence assessment
EastMojo reports the Centre's cumulative figure and policy outline. Project-level accounts and independent performance audits are not included.
Medium confidence — The central development is supported by the linked EastMojo report, while the stated evidence gaps prevent a high-confidence assessment.
Coverage assessment
