Project summary
As an archipelago nation with over 17,000 islands, Indonesia relies heavily on sea transport to foster domestic social and economic development and international trade. However, while developing this network, limited attention has been paid to the environmental protection, the disaster and climate change mitigation and resilience, the adoption of energy-efficiency technologies, the implementation of adequate general waste disposal facilities, and the sector decarbonization. Consequently, the Indonesian port system and the vessels being served by it have been identified as a major energy consumer, waste generator, and greenhouse (GHG) emissions contributor. Eastern Indonesia has a particularly high dependency on port infrastructure because of its geography of population on many islands and the remote locations of those islands. In particular, COVID-19 has posed a threat to the continuity of critical sea transport supply chains and maintaining availability and stable prices for basic consumer goods across the archipelago. Against this backdrop, the objective of this project is to promote inclusive green growth in the maritime sector in Indonesia, which can facilitate economic growth, job creation, and post-pandemic recovery. It will identify opportunities and provide practical recommendations for greening the maritime sector (including port infrastructure, related industrial and logistics facilities, vessels, and fishery practices), while enhancing connectivity, and pandemic preparedness and readiness.

Considering this, this proposal is aligned with the KGGTF goals as it seeks to unlock those investments that will enable the improved urban efficiency that these cities need in the next decade
- Greater resilience: Along the same lines, the cities under this proposal (Kigali, Dar, Nairobi and Kampala) are all built in flood prone area and are extremely vulnerable to climate change and extreme weather events, which furthers exacerbates the existing mobility crisis. Resilient informed mobility is at the core of this proposal. Leverage Korean experience in this subject is instrumental to unlock investments that are climate-proof and to ensure that the institutions that manage the investments can manage them sustainably.
- Increased competitiveness: Urban mobility is fundamental to these mega-cities competitiveness. As we know, state of urban mobility is leading to having these cities be disconnected and unproductive. Urban economic development is intrinsically tight to access to opportunities, for which efficient urban mobility is fundamental.

Outcomes:
- Improved efficiency: The proposed grant will improve the efficiency of Kolkata’s urban transport through a comprehensive mix of policy, analytics, and capacity building that will be supported by data-informed decision-making based on real-time inputs and inform the Project’s investments. IWT and its related analytics will provide the city with an opportunity to better manage its annual flooding, deliver a low-carbon transport alternative, shorten connections to the Kolkata Port, and reduce pollution and congestion. The Project’s investments will encourage IWT usage, and the KGGTF grant’s activities will ensure that the station area plans and waterfront master plan highlight accessibility and safeguard against urban flooding, and multi-modal connections are designed as a cohesive network.
- Greater resilience: West Bengal is especially vulnerable to extreme weather due to its river network, the presence of a number of lakes, ponds and canals in the Kolkata metropolitan area, and poorly managed and clogged drainage systems. Kolkata and West Bengal have an opportunity to lead India’s development of IWT and become a best practice of how to mitigate flooding while providing riverfront accessibility through sustainable floodplain management. Harnessing the potential of city’s natural assets and developing IWT will provide low-carbon transport alternatives, safeguard the city’s floodplain, expand the existing IWT system, and make traveling by boat safer and more accessible. The grant’s activities, namely the waterfront master plan, GGSS, and the knowledge exchange activities with Korea will directly contribute to this and strengthen the resilience angle to the Project’s investments.
- Increased competitiveness: Livability and a resilient urban environment are key to a city’s competitiveness. By improving the efficiency of passenger and freight transport and increasing the city’s resilience to urban flooding, the proposed activities will directly contribute to the increased competitiveness of the Kolkata metropolitan area by fostering a better urban environment and improving the quality of life and connectivity of its residents. The KGGTF activities will ensure that critical studies are in place for a comprehensive response to today’s congestion, flooding and urban sprawl. The GGSS will leverage wider economic development opportunities around the Project’s transportation improvements.

Project summary
The objective of this grant is to develop a Data Management System to support the Development of the Green Transport Master Plan, the Digital Transformation of the Transport Sector and Intelligent Transport Systems in Egypt. Cairo is one of the five most congested and polluted cities in the world. It accounts for 25% of Egypt’s population and half of its GDP. A World Bank study estimated the costs of congestion in the Greater Cairo Metro Area at 3.6 percent of the country’s GDP. While the Government of Egypt is investing in mass transit transport projects, rapid urban and population growth and increasing motorization warrant the development of a comprehensive strategy to enhance the economic competitiveness of the metropolitan area and the country itself. This project aims at collecting data to develop a Green Transport Master Plan and a crowdsourcing, multi-platform, integrated big data system for tracking traffic, congestion, and accidents in Egypt, starting with the Greater Cairo Region. The data system will support the planning and regulating of urban traffic and development plans. Currently, no agency is systematically collecting urban traffic data, despite the extensive congestion, especially in the Greater Cairo Region. The team responsible for the execution of this activity will partner with the Korea Transport Institute (KOTI), the Korean Energy Agency (KEA) and the Green Technology Center-Korea (GTC-K) to share results, build on existing knowledge on Urban Transport Planning, and leverage digital technologies for Smart Cities development and management.

Project summary
The objective of this grant is to support municipal authorities of Luang Prabang and Siem Reap in fostering green mobility strategies to preserve both cities’ cultural, historical and economic values. There is a global consensus that transitioning to greener mobility will be crucial to the overall success of the climate agenda. Many cities are increasingly facing challenges of high motorization and congestion which undermine their sustainable growth, damage living conditions, and increase the environmental footprint. With the rapid pace of urbanization, the concept of green mobility and walkable cities is becoming imperative for inclusive and sustainable growth, creating high demand for design and implementation of green mobility actions. The proposed activity covers two similar cities of Cambodia (Siem Reap) and Lao PDR (Luang Prabang), that are included on the UNESCO World Heritage list. Both cities are having significant cultural, historical and economic value and both are facing similar development challenges: increased motorization, unplanned land use and disordered transport systems expansion, driven by growing tourist numbers. These problems put their future sustainable and inclusive growth at risk but are also creating an opportunity for learning from each other’s experiences and benefiting from synergies in the application of innovative solutions. To implement this program the World Bank KGGTF team will work to strengthen and grow partnerships with institutions in Korea, facilitate knowledge exchange and exposure to best practices, and build innovative tools for the two beneficiary cities.
