The objective of the Sustainable Cities and Land Project for Cameroon is to improve access to climate-resilient infrastructure and enhance land administration services in targeted urban areas in Cameroon. The project adopts a multi-sectoral approach to invest in urban development and land administration while adapting to the challenges of climate change. The integrated project invests mainly in climate-resilient infrastructure and land administration services. The project consists of four integrated components.

The project will improve basic urban infrastructure and living conditions in selected northern cities (Pemba, Nampula, Nacala, Montepuez) through climate‑resilient investments and institutional strengthening. It finances urban roads and access improvements with micro‑drainage; drainage and erosion control (including nature‑based solutions); small water supply systems; energy‑efficient street lighting; and rehabilitation of priority public buildings (schools, clinics, markets).

The project will improve climate-resilient urban infrastructure and services and strengthen institutional capacity in the Dar es Salaam metropolitan area.

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.

The Multiphase Programmatic Approach (MPA) Phase 1 will modernize Lima’s traffic management and support sustainable, green, and inclusive urban mobility. It finances expansion and centralization of the traffic lights system, an automated traffic violation detection and control system, safer intersections and traffic‑calming zones, and improved connectivity for non‑motorized transport (cycling and walking), plus project management and capacity building.

The program will strengthen the capacities of urban institutions to improve the delivery and resilience of urban infrastructure and services, enhance private sector engagement in urban planning, and support the transition of refugee camps into integrated host community and refugee settlements.

The project develops high-quality designs for a green, resilient, and inclusive waterfront park in Downtown Kingston, alongside urban upgrading and institutional capacity building to catalyze private sector-led redevelopment. SOP 1 finances conceptual and detailed designs, baseline and planning studies, MSME mapping and economic activation, and advisory services (including a City/Business Improvement District model), with climate‑smart and universal design principles embedded and a CERC for shocks.

Program-for-Results (PforR) operation (with an IPF Technical Assistance component) to strengthen urban management and improve access to efficient and climate-resilient urban water and sanitation (WSS) services across participating Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) in Tamil Nadu.

The Project Development Objective is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and enhance nature-positive urban development in Guiyang. The project will enhance flood control by restoring river banks and implementing NBS for soil erosion control, and restore terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.

The project’s development objective is to improve access to climate resilient urban infrastructure and public facilities, and reduce flood risk in selected cities. The project will upgrade green public spaces and riverbanks, integrating NBS to address the urban heat island effect and improve soil infiltration capacities, and invest in hybrid flood risk reduction infrastructure.
