Business Opportunities

• Preparing the Babeldaob Island Urban Resilience Project (formerly Strengthening Urban Planning and Management)

  For approval in 2023.

• South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation Dhirasram Inland Container Depot Project

  The project is to develop a new inland container depot (ICD) in the north of Dhaka near Gazipur with rail link of 7.2km in length, replacing the existing Kamlapur ICD. Dhirasram Inland Container Depot (DICD) will be the largest ICD and the first ICD with public-private partnership component in Bangladesh. DICD will be operated and maintained by a private concessionaire. Institutional framework will be set up by the government where the Ministry of Railway and Bangladesh Railway will regulate and monitor DICD operation.

• MFF: Green and Resilience Financing Facility Investment Program

  The proposed program is a large-scale transformative and integrated initiative addressing the constraints. It aims to bridge the financing, capacity, institutional, and technical gaps in implementing the NAP and adaptation measures mentioned in the NDC and GRID while promoting mitigation, biodiversity, air pollution, and food security as co-benefits.

• Geothermal Power Expansion Project

  The project will support an expansion of Indonesia's geothermal generating capacity to contribute to the sustainability, resiliency, and sufficiency of the electricity system. The project will support PT Geo Dipa Energi (GDE), a state-owned geothermal company, to commission an additional 110 megawatts (MW) of geothermal electricity generating capacity at the Dieng geothermal field in Central Java.

• Integrated Renewable Energy Solutions to Support Green Transformation in Turkmenistan

  Turkmenistan is a landlocked developing member country (DMC) with abundant gas and oil deposits. Most of the country is desert, with the population concentrated in a few urban areas.

  Despite the country's reliance upon hydrocarbons, the government recognizes the importance of climate action and is exploring renewable energy sources, including solar. This shift could open up new export markets for the country, such as through Green Energy corridors to transport renewable energy from Central Asia to Europe ,which would support regional and cross border cooperation.

• Sustainable Urban Transport Project

  The Sustainable Urban Transport Project aims to support Perum DAMRI (DAMRI), the state-owned bus operator, in replacing its aging fleet of internal combustion engine (ICE) buses with battery electric buses (BEBs), and in improving the quality and resilience of its public transport facilities and services. The project is aligned with the following impact: Acceleration of electric vehicle deployment to increase energy conservation in the transportation sector, improve air quality, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Presidential Regulation No.

• Sustainable Energy Development and Empowering Communities in Chattogram Hill Tracks Project

  The phase 2 of the Extension of Power Distribution System Network in Three Hilly Districts project will attend eradication of remaining poverty (OP1) by increasing access to electricity and creating energy-based livelihood opportunities; contribute to Rural Development and Food Security (OP5) by enabling SECs leverage from improved agricultural value chain and market access; enhance climate resilience for the people through climate-proofing of the electricity distribution infrastructure (OP3); address inequality (OP2) through creating livelihood opportunities for marginal women; and improve ca

• Resilient Amu Darya River Basin Sector Development Program

  The proposed project will undertake a long-term and strategic approach to deliver climate adaptive solutions for water resources management in the Amu Darya River Basins in Uzbekistan. Predicted climate change impacts include increased temperatures, increased frequency and severity of extreme events such as floods and droughts, and a reduction of water availability and increased variability of water flows in the major river basins. Decreasing availability and increased water requirements by different sectors are leading to a growing seasonal and absolute supply-demand gap.

• Sustainable Agrifood Systems Sector Project

• South Asia Subregional Economic Cooperation: Chattogram-Dohazari Railway Project

  The project will upgrade the 41 km existing track from Chattogram to Dohazari and build a new bypass line of 2.5 km. The new bypass will allow direct operation from Dhaka to Cox's Bazar without stopping at the Chattogram station. The upgrade will include heighten the elevation of rail track, strengthen the drainage system, computerize the blocking signaling system, and dual-gauging of the track. This will enable a more resilient, reliable and efficient rail operation. In addition, 30 locomotives will also be procured.
