1         Background

 

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in China

 

The federally owned Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH, an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations, has been working in China for almost 30 years. As an instrument of bilateral cooperation we act on behalf of the German government and in the interests of both Germany and China. 

 

GIZ provides policy advice to China’s reform process to build a harmonious, resource-saving society and strive for a balance between economic growth, social equality and environmental protection.

 

The City Development Initiative for Asia (CDIA), is an initiative developed by the Asian Development Bank (ADB) in cooperation with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH, the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the Spanish Ministry for the Economy and Finance. The long term mission of CDIA is to contribute to the promotion of sustainable and equitable urban development, leading to improved environmental and living conditions for all in Asian cities.

 

The final goal of CDIA is to bridge the gap between strategic city development planning, on the one hand, and urban policies, services and infrastructure project preparation on the other by assisting city governments with pre-project preparation and capacity-building. In attempting to achieve this, the Initiative will support identification and pre-structuring of appropriate projects and building management capacity of medium size cities with focus on cities with population from approximately 250,000 up to five million people. In these cities, CDIA will support the implementation of existing city development strategies or comprehensive development plans for socially, economically and environmentally equitable and sustainable infrastructure and urban services.

The operational objectives of CDIA, given the above overall strategic objective, are to improve urban infrastructure and services management through:

 

a)      strengthening of local institutional structures and arrangements for local policy frameworks on urban management and the development of urban capital investment infrastructure and services projects, including the upgrading of local governance systems and enhancement of the city revenue base to maximize funding options and capacity; and

b)      providing technical assistance in project structuring to bring priority infrastructure project concepts^[1] to a pre-feasibility stage from where standard project feasibility studies acceptable to (and, if required, funded by) development financing institutions can be applied.
