Improving Connectivity and Urban Infrastructure in Cabo Verde

The development objective of Improving Connectivity and Urban Infrastructure in Cabo Verde Project is to improve access to climate-resilient transport and urban infrastructure for selected project areas in the recipient's territory. This project has five components. 1) The first component, Enhancing Resilient Urban and Community Infrastructure, aims to rehabilitate public spaces and upgrade key public assets to maximize climate change adaptation and low-carbon economic development. 2) The second component, Enhancing Transport Connectivity and Resilience, aims to finance climate-informed rehabilitation and upgrading of inter-city and rural roads, with the objective of ensuring reliable all-season connectivity and access to transport services and reduce transport costs in project areas in Cabo Verde. 3) The third component, Technical Assistance, aims to provide support for capacity building and technical assistance activities for improved, climate resilient low-carbon integrated urban and transport planning, intermodal connectivity, and transport asset management. 4) The fourth component, Project Management, aims to provide support for the management and implementation of the proposed project. 5) The fifth component, Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC), aims to provide an immediate response to an eligible crisis or emergency, as needed, by financing the implementation of emergency infrastructure rehabilitation and reconstruction.
