The grant provides technical assistance support to the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic in its climate change adaptation and mitigation efforts across the five largest cities in the south of the Kyrgyz Republic and is linked to the following bank lending operations: First Regional Economic Development Project(RED-1) and Economic Development Project(RED-2).
RED-1 and RED-2 drives sustainable and inclusive economic growth in the Kyrgyz Republic by promoting tourism, agriculture, entrepreneurship, and improved local service delivery in some of the country's most vulnerable regions. Together, the projects invest in the revitalization of cultural heritage and tourism destinations, upgrades to municipal infrastructure, strengthening of agricultural value chains, and targeted support for small and medium-sized enterprises through training, capacity building, and financing opportunities. By enhancing regional competitiveness, creating jobs, improving livelihoods, and strengthening resilience to economic and climate-related challenges, the projects contribute to long-term local economic development and poverty reduction.
This ECA C&CC grant consists of two components. Component 1 strengthens the climate resilience and sustainability of infrastructure in the cities of Osh and Uzgen (covered under RED-1), and Batken, Razzakov, and Kadamjay (covered under RED-2) by integrating climate-responsive measures into the design and implementation of Bank-financed Investment Project Financing operations. Component 2 undertakes a comprehensive climate and livability assessment for all seven regional capitals of the Kyrgyz Republic and shall identify key bottlenecks to sustainable urban development. Respective outputs will include city-level diagnostics, and a set of evidence-based recommendations tailored to each city’s context. The findings of this assessment will inform and guide future Bank-supported interventions.
