Cities and Infrastructure for Growth (CIG) This UK Programme provided technical support on city and regional interventions mainly in 2 focus countries, Uganda and Zambia, resulting in increased inclusive economic growth and job creation. The interventions have helped city economies to become more productive, deliver access to reliable, affordable, renewable power for businesses and households, and strengthen investment into infrastructure services, including from the UK.   CIG was intended to provide up to £165m to a range of LMICs over 5 years. Due to budget cuts over the life of the programme, CIG was substantially scaled back and at closure comprised technical assistance support to Uganda and Zambia only. CIG provided £52m of support in total (£22.6m of which was spent in Zambia and Uganda). In the final year, 2023, a Phase 2 was started, where management was transferred in July to a country office, covering only Zambia. Phase 2 will last until June 2025, with the possibility of a further year's extension.
