Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project - PROGEP II

PROJECT CONTEXT

In September 2020, an extreme climate event confirmed the performance of investments under the Stormwater Management and Climate Change Adaptation Project (PROGEP, August 2012–May 2020) while revealing urgent needs in other urbanised areas.
