Imphal, the capital of India's northeastern state of Manipur, is facing rapid growth that has outpaced its sanitation infrastructure. Only 11 of the 27 municipal wards have a sewered sanitation system, forcing many households to rely on septic tanks, leading to wastewater pollution in the Imphal and Nambul rivers. In October 2023, NDB approved a sovereign loan of up to USD 115 million to address these issues. The project will enhance sanitation infrastructure by constructing 3 sewage treatment plants, 24 sewage pumping stations and a 297 km network of sewer pipelines. The 3 sewage treatment plants, with a total capacity of 41 million liters per day, will help meet the city's needs until 2039. By expanding sanitation coverage to all households, this initiative will improve health and hygiene for residents while significantly reducing pollution in local waterbodies. It supports Sustainable Development Goal 6 on Clean Water and Sanitation and contributes to SDG 3 on Good Health and Well-being. Read more: https://bit.ly/4h6flKB #EMDCs #NDBImpact #SDG6 #SDG3

In Anshan, the project will focus on improving Nansha River's water quality and fixing waterlogging problems. In Lingyuan, it aims to enhance urban mobility and strengthen flood protection. By using these two pilot cities, the People's Government of Liaoning Province plans to replicate this sustainable urban transformation model in other industrial cities throughout northeast China.

Luoyang is a Chinese city with a long history and rich culture. With rapid urbanisation, the city's transportation infrastructure was proving to be insufficient to the needs of a growing population. In 2018, NDB stepped in with a financing package of USD 300 million to develop the city's first metro system. Fully functional since March 2021, the Luoyang metro system has become a game-changer for the city. It has alleviated traffic congestion and enhanced the city's connectivity and urban transport capacity. Watch how this crucial transport infrastructure is improving the daily lives of residents. #NDBImpact #sustainableinfrastructure #EMDCs #SDG11
