Project brief:
This component will finance a range of investments to improve urban/city connectivity and integration of poor neighbourhoods, access to infrastructure and basic services in targeted neighbourhoods, and the broader living environment of beneficiary cities. The specific interventions for the cities in the fragile Far North (Maroua and Kousséri) will be defined upon completion of the ongoing Recovery and Peace Building Assessment and considering activities supported by other projects and donors. The technical designs for the works will consider the recommendations of the multi-sectoral investments plan for managing climate and disaster risk that was recently completed by the MINEPAT with support from the World Bank. It will have four sub-components: Sub-component 2.1: Inner-city connectivity and integration of poor neighbourhoods; Sub-component 2.2: Neighbourhood upgrading; Sub-component 2.3: Support to local initiatives focusing on economic inclusion of youth; Sub-component 2.4: Improving the urban environment and resilience to flood.
