The programme will include school rehabilitation and housing assistance and follows February's Cyclone Winston.
Fiji's Attorney-General Aiyaz Sayed-Khaiyum says the loan will allow the government to be more responsive and rebuild damaged schools and homes better and stronger.
He says the new structures will be designed and built to withstand high winds and driving rain that characterise severe tropical storms.
