In response to urban resilience challenges in Bolivia, the City Resilience Program (CRP) responded by providing an initial $300,000 grant aimed at increasing the Bolivian government’s capacity to manage rapid urbanization, improve living conditions, and reduce exposure to natural hazards and climate change in La Paz and Santa Cruz. The grant also supported the appraisal of a national city resilience project and helped World Bank teams in the project identification stages, and the assessment of technical specifications and designs of intervention. On February 19, 2020, a $70 million credit from the International Development Association (IDA) was approved for the World Bank’s Bolivia Urban Resilience Project.
