Somalia Urban Resilience Project II

The additional financing will strengthen public service delivery capacity of local governments, increase access to climate-resilient urban infrastructure and services, and enable immediate response to eligible crises in selected Somali cities. It supports urban drainage and flood risk management, climate-resilient streets, bridges and walkways, pedestrian safety and solar streetlighting, and municipal systems for inclusive service delivery. Institutional strengthening, analytics, and project management build municipal capacity; a CERC enables rapid response. Anticipated benefits include reduced road flooding and erosion, safer pedestrian environments, improved access to services (including for women, IDPs and vulnerable groups), and livelihood opportunities through construction and O&M
