Mandate Letter FMDV, the International Alliance dedicated to support Local Governments to sustainably finance their urban development is committed to taking concrete action and to be an active partner in working to deliver the climate objectives committed to by the 175 signatory nations of the Paris Agreement. Low carbon, climate resilient and sustainable development is amongst the very highest of our priorities. For these reasons, we hereby adhere to the R20 Charter and we confirm that we share the values and objectives that this document describes.
We welcome R20’s initiative to work alongside government, industry and investors in accelerating the emergence of low carbon climate resilient infrastructure projects. We hereby mandate R20 to explore opportunities for the development of such projects within our partners cities and regions. Through that call we received more than 45 projects from Latin America, Asia, Africa and Middle East.
We confirm that these projects, and any projects that we may subsequently identify in reference to this mandate, are part of our sustainability strategy and contribute to the intended nationally determined contribution (INDC). In support of the mandate conferred by this letter, we hereby commit to work as an active partner alongside R20 and its partners in the design, financing and implementation of these projects.
Yours sincerely,

Mandating Authority :
Social and environmental impact
Expected project CAPEX :
The project aims to replace the existing stock of grid based street lighting with solar and expand the network to cover unserved areas of the city. Currently only 8% of the streets in Kampala have street lights posing significant challenges in terms of safety particularly for women and children who often walk to and from their places of work. The project is expected to install 40,000 units over a 10 year period.
Kampala City Solar Street Lighting Project
Social impacts: Increased safety particularly for women and children, reduced road fatal-ities & accidents, increased business hours, savings on energy costs which will be used to finance other social services like health and education. Environmental Impacts: lower greenhouse gas emissions, increased share of renewable in the city energy mix, energy efficiency and security, reduced exposure to energy supply shocks

The solar street lighting project is a high priority project for the Kampala Climate Change Action Plan given its potential benefits to the city. The project is expected to be integrated with a city air quality monitoring system and WI FI hotspots to generate additional income to the city.
The current installation is 3,700 units comprising of mainly grid connected poles and only 170 solar based units. This installation covers only 8% of the paved road and street network in the city. An additional 700 units are under procurement with financing from internal sources
