Project Management Consultant (PDMC) design, develop, manage and implement Smart City projects in Shillong
Government of Meghalaya & Government of IndiaShillong City is in a highly seismic zone (Zone V) and is prone to frequent earthquake shocks and subsequent hazards. Also, frequent rainfall makes urban living highly vulnerable to climatic impacts such as floods and landslides. The river within Shillong are known to get flooded frequently during heavy monsoons. In addition, poor management of solid and liquid waste, traffic congestion and vehicular pollution, clearance of green areas due to indiscriminate construction, and fossil-fuel energy consumption in city infrastructure contribute to climate change through an increase in GHG emissions and reduction in carbon sinks in urban areas. Various features of urban agglomerations in the state interact with the climate and enhance the vulnerability of the city population. The Shillong Smart city project is focused on developing Shillong as a liveable, clean, green, inclusive, modern, safe and citizen-friendly and well-governed city.

Accelerating Sanitation for All in Asia and the Pacific Waste Water Management Master Plan for Khulna City, Bangladesh
ADB: TA-9897 REGKhulna Water Supply and Sewerage Authority (KWASA) is the nodal agency for wastewater management inside city corporation boundary as per the current statutory law. Previously in 2016, a detailed Wastewater Master Plan was prepared for Khulna City with assistance from Asian Development Bank (ADB). Subsequently, to improve the sanitation situation and the sewerage system of Bangladesh’s 3rd largest city, the Khulna Sewerage System Development Project (KSSDP) was initiated on basis of the Master Plan in 2020 and is presently under implementation phase. Now, to match with the aspired target of CWIS, updating the existing Wastewater Master Plan has become a necessity, while encompassing the KSSDP components and with an effort to expand the facilities of organised sewerage system in previously uncovered parts (and possibly some newly developed sections) within the city limits and expand other types of sanitation facilities where organised sewerage system was not feasible earlier.
Preparation of a Sustainable Development Programme for Cities [Pre-feasibility]
AFDTriple Line is carring out a pre-feasibility study to inform the design of a technical assistance programme as part of the larger Team Europe Initiative (TEI) and is supporting sustainable urban development in intermediary cities in Tanzania. The focus will be on the cities of Mwanza and Tanga; and sustainable urban development in this context is stated as ‘improving the conditions for greening cities and job creation’. Both cities are predominantly reliant on agriculture to support employment, yet the ability to build higher added value economic activities is constrained by weak trading systems and supply chain infrastructure and increasing threat level from climatic and natural hazards.

UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development OfficeThe Cities and Infrastructure for Growth – Ghana (CIG Ghana) Programme in its first phase delivered support to two cities (Sekondi-Takoradi and Tamale) in Ghana to address climate change. This focused on urban flooding producing flood modelling work, identifying potential soft and hard infrastructure interventions and provided guidance on sources of climate finance.
