Yemen's cities are vulnerable to climate change, but steps can be taken to make them more resilient. In our latest blog post, we explore how the QII principles are helping the country's urban infrastructure become more climate resilient.
The Quality Infrastructure Investment (QII) Principles provide a strategic direction for infrastructure investment and have much to offer—especially for developing countries.

A new knowledge exchange platform, UKEP, was launched in March 2022 with support from the QII Partnership and ESMAP.
