The Project is part of the Green Cities Framework, a strategic and multi-project approach targeting environmental issues in selected large cities across the Bank’s countries of operation. The primary goal is to achieve significant environmental improvements and promote the green transition quality within the relevant cities. The objectives of the GrCF are supported by the development and implementation of a city-specific Green Cities Action Plan (GCAP) identifying and prioritising environmental challenges and ways to address them through targeted investments, services, and policy instruments.
