Chennai City Partnership: Sustainable Urban Services Program

About this project

The development objective of the Chennai City Partnership : Sustainable Urban Services Program-for-Results Project for India is to strengthen institutions and improve quality and financial sustainability of selected urban services in the Chennai Metropolitan Area (CMA). Government of Tamil Nadu (GoTN's) new Chennai 2030 program (2021-2030) aims to accelerate Chennai's transformation into a city that is green, livable, competitive, and resilient. The program is envisaged has a multi-phased program that will pool resources from government sources and development partners and also leverage the private sector for both finance and expertise. It builds on insights and experience gained from ongoing investments and initiatives in CMA, and especially the lesson that investments alone - especially, if they are uncoordinated - are insufficient to achieve transformation of the city. All program activities will be structured in the form of three pillars: (i) strengthening institutions; (ii) enhancing quality of urban services; and (iii) improving financial sustainability of service delivery.
