The objectives of the Project are to: (a) improve sustainable water resources management, and (b) increase access to sanitation in the Borrower’s territory. The project seeks to improve watershed management, including through reforestation and improved land management.
The objective of the Stormwater Management and Urban Resilience Project for Benin is to reduce flood risks in selected areas of Cotonou and strengthen urban resilience management and capacity at the city level. There are three components to the project, the first component being storm water drainage investment and community engagement for flood risk reduction and climate change adaptation. The second component is the strengthening urban resilience management and capacity. Finally, the third component is the project management, monitoring and evaluation.
The Second Rwanda Urban Development Project aims to improve access to services, enhance resilience, and strengthen urban planning in Kigali and six secondary cities. The project focuses on wetland rehabilitation and Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) to reduce flood risks, enhance biodiversity, and improve resilience.
The Second Kenya Urban Support Program (KUSP2) aims to strengthen urban institutions' capacity to improve infrastructure delivery, enhance private sector participation, and transition refugee camps into integrated settlements. The project supports the creation of green public spaces through Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), improving climate resilience and urban inclusivity.
The Second Habitat and Urban Land Project aims to promote formal and planned urban growth in selected cities, improve living conditions in precarious settlements, and enhance disaster response. Investments include Nature-Based Solutions (NBS), native urban forestry, green corridors, and linear parks to reduce flooding, mitigate landslide risks, and improve urban environments.
The Sao Tome e Principe Transport Sector Development and Coastal Protection Project aims to enhance connectivity, sustainability, safety, and climate resilience of selected roads. Key activities include training road maintenance community groups to adopt ecosystem-based approaches for stabilization and coastal protection, promoting environmentally sustainable practices.
The Samoa Aviation and Roads Investment Project seeks to improve the climate resilience and safety of aviation and road infrastructure in Samoa. The project incorporates gray-green flood reduction measures, including mangrove restoration, bioswales, rainwater harvesting, and rain gardens, to enhance resilience and mitigate the impact of extreme weather events.
The Romania Inclusive and Green Growth DPF aims to strengthen inclusion and fiscal management while fostering decarbonization and climate resilience. The program supports the adoption of a legal framework to incentivize afforestation and reforestation, enhancing environmental sustainability and reducing carbon emissions.
The Rio de Janeiro Adjustment and Sustainable Development Policy Loan supports strengthening fiscal sustainability and transitioning to low-carbon, resilient urban development in Rio de Janeiro. The program promotes urban afforestation through legislation establishing a low-emission district in the city center, advancing sustainability and inclusivity.
The Resilient Infrastructure for Adaptation and Vulnerability Reduction Project aims to reduce vulnerability to riverine and flash floods in targeted communities and enhance disaster preparedness. The project supports afforestation activities, including planting trees and grass, to reinforce soil, reduce surface run-off, and improve resilience to flood risks.
