These skills will include the integration of climate resilience and the analytical tools recently created to support smart environmental decisions. For over a decade the Government of Uganda (GoU) has undertaken reforms aimed at making Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM) the foundation for water sector management and development. As part of the reforms, an appropriate policy and institutional framework for IWRM, including regulatory, planning and development has been established. Whilst there is some expertise to support this effort, crucial capacity gaps remain, including the need to address emerging issues such as the increasing significance of climate change that is leading to higher occurrences of extreme weather events such as flooding and droughts. This requires integration of climate risks and opportunities into the planning and designing of Uganda’s development programs and infrastructure, which requires specific skills set currently not available in country. This KGGTF program will support the design of applied training modules that will be used to build a cadre of skilled champions in key infrastructure sectors including energy, urban, transport and water. Firstly, funds will be used to undertake an institutional and training needs assessment of the water and climate sectors in Uganda, and the design of an institutional framework for establishing a Water Resources and Climate Resilience Institute to meet the increasing capacity development needs in the sector. Key training modules will then be developed in partnership with relevant global institutions such as the Korean Water Academy (K-Water), IHE-Delft in the Netherlands and MIT in the U.S. to be used in the training of government practitioners across key sectors. Training modules will be developed in line with needs identified from the training needs assessment.

Despite their importance, public spaces are poorly integrated or are often neglected in the process of planning and developing cities in the region. They are particularly critical in less-fortunate neighborhood, as access to public spaces is much more essential for poor people. Funding for this program will assist the World Bank, development partners, and client countries and cities to identify and design policies and programs on public spaces as a transformative instrument for promoting inclusive green growth in South Asia’s cities.

Outcomes: The proposed project will assist the Bank, development partners, and client countries and cities to identify and design policies and programs on public spaces as a transformative instrument for promoting inclusive green growth in South Asia’s cities. It will offer solid evidence that good public spaces can deliver better economic, social and environmental value in developing countries. This will support ongoing WBG projects, as well as a potential expansion of these activities into the future operation to advance the Bank’s inclusive green growth, developing a new WBG business line. Dhaka waterfronts development, for example, can be operationalized, which has got buy-in from the client during the scoping mission in March 2015. Beyond the waterfront itself, it covers large scale urban development along the river including water infrastructure. Collaboration with K-Partners and Others
