Description

The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) will support the proposed Revitalization of Informal Settlements and their Environments using a Water-Sensitive Approach (RISE) Projects will be undertaken in Makassar city, Indonesia and in the Greater Suva Area (GSA), Fiji. 1 The TA will demonstrate the effectiveness of a water-sensitive approach for wastewater treatment, flood risk reduction, and urban environment improvement using decentralized green infrastructure to biologically treat contaminated and polluted water. Experiences and lessons from the project activities undertaken through the TA are expected to inform the technical design, implementation arrangements, and cost estimates for larger-scale interventions that may be undertaken by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) through investment projects. The TA will build on the preparatory work undertaken through the knowledge partnership with the Cooperative Research Centre for Water Sensitive Cities.
