HUMAN SETTLEMENTS Engage with donors and partners to source funds for infrastructure management and design, particularly on stormwater management and road design. GHG emissions reduction potential: This action does not contribute to GHG reduction but could contribute to protection of low emission infrastructure assets. Description: Integrate stormwater drainage infrastructure into urban road network and implement maintenance regime to enhance longevity of infrastructure. The action requires the systematic integration of stormwater planning in the design and construction of roads and pavements in urban areas. This complements the Road Maintenance Fund established in 2013. Technical support to enhance the work of the National Spatial Planning Agency Office (NSPAO) and the Road Committee will be needed. Supporting asset and capacity measures: Install and maintain stormwater management infrastructure. Location: Urban areas.
