Tender description

FCDO proposes to procure a programme, the UK Centre for Resilient Cities and Infrastructure, designed to tackle five key barriers across the infrastructure and urban sectors: 1) lack of prepared, financeable, infrastructure projects; 2) poor infrastructure governance and policy; 3) limited fiscal autonomy and poor financial management in cities; 4) lack of effective urban planning and land use; 5) limited capacity to support clean growth. The UKCRCI will be a demand-led technical assistance facility that will provide technical support to the following clients: (a) FCDO Posts across a range of countries in the Asia-Pacific, Africa and possibly Latin America and European Neighbourhood; (b) Partner governments, at national and subnational level, in the Asia-Pacific, Africa and possibly Latin America and European Neighbourhood; (c) OGDs that are delivering ODA urban, infrastructure programmes, including those with a climate resilient focus — for example, BEIS in Latin America.
