Funding for A&R projects continue to depend on public finance capacities of the cities and meeting the private sectors' expectations of risk and return.
This project gives an opportunity to engage with bilateral and multilateral agencies, project preparation support facilities, and philanthropic foundations for mobilizing funds to be invested in A&R projects in pilot cities.
