Grant Activities

Project Summary:

The grant aims to enhance green urban management and tourism development through structured Public-Private Collaboration (PPC). It seeks to develop a replicable framework and toolkit, pilot it in three countries, and facilitate knowledge exchange with Korean partners.

It also aims to strengthen client capacity to operationalize PPC, attract greater private investment in green initiatives, and deepen institutional partnerships.

The grant is organized into three components:

  • It focuses on developing a WBG paper and an operational toolkit for designing and measuring PPC impacts.
  • Supporting country-level pilots in Albania, Tunisia, and Ethiopia to introduce or strengthen PPC institutions.
  • Building technical capacity through a study tour to Korea and an e-learning course drawing on Korea's experience in green urban management.
