To achieve the long-term development objectives of Amaravati, the GoAP program aims to put in place city governance, a financing framework and service delivery institutions, implement green and resilient urban infrastructure, deliver reliable urban services, attract private investments, and strengthen socioeconomic support programs to enhance the jobs skills and economic opportunities for existing and future residents of Amaravati. Together with the ADB financing, this PforR will support selected priority interventions within the government’s program. Specifically, the Program supports all key activities on institutional strengthening, sustainable financing, skills training and investment promotion under the government’s program, green and resilient housing apartments in the AGC, a structuring network of trunk infrastructure and flood mitigation works, and connectivity in selected LPS neighborhoods to transport and public services. These activities are grouped under three interrelated results areas (RAs) aimed at establishing the foundations for Amaravati’s long-term development as an economically dynamic, inclusive, resilient, and sustainable city as follows: RA1: Strengthened Governance and Financing Framework; RA2: Inclusive Socioeconomic Growth and Community Development; and RA3: Resilient Infrastructure and Sustainable Service Delivery. The Program Expenditure Framework (PEF), derived from the Government program, outlines the financial structure and budgetary allocations necessary to achieve the expected outcomes under the three RAs.
