Abstract
The objective of this transport
component of the broader Africa Climate Business Plan (ACBP)
is to begin to mainstream climate benefits into the World
Bank’s transport program for Sub-Saharan Africa, the better
to assist African countries in bringing their climate change
efforts to scale. It is a first step towards mainstreaming
responses to the climate challenge into transport programs
in Africa, and it represents the first time the Transport
& ICT GP has produced a work plan for its investment and
technical assistance operations that takes into account the
content of countries’ Nationally Determined Contributions
(NDCs) and attempts to align World Bank support to the goals
stated therein. The transport work plan under this Africa
Climate Business Plan will consist of up to $3.2 billion in
investments and technical assistance over the 2016-2020
period – including $2.8 billion in World Bank funds. Those
investments will help to make progress on two strategic
objectives: (1) improving the resilience of African
transport infrastructure to climate change by defining four
pillars of resilient transport; and (2) improving the
carbon-efficiency of transport systems in Sub-Saharan Africa.
