The action will also contribute to the "Global Gateway" climate investment priority, by strengthening Rwanda's capacity to adapt to climate change and significantly reduce disaster risks.The action constitutes a first building block of the Team Europe Initiative (TEI) on `¿Sustainable Rwandan cities fit for the digital age¿¿. The transformation of Rwanda from an agrarian economy into a knowledge-based society is taking place in the context of two major drivers of change in the 21st century ¿ rapid urbanisation and the increased application of digital technologies in all sectors of society. To meet these challenges, and take advantage of the opportunities of the digital world, Rwandan society is transforming. Citizens are increasingly moving to towns and cities, acquiring new skills and demanding better services. Cities are growing; requiring better planning, governance and new financing mechanisms. The transformational objective of this TEI is to tap in the potential of Rwandan cities to drive innovation and spur the creation of jobs fit for the 21st century.The TEI will be supported by Agence Française de Dévelopment (AFD) for an amount around EUR&nbsp;80&nbsp;000&nbsp;000, KfW for an amount of around EUR&nbsp;72&nbsp;000&nbsp;000, GiZ for an amount of &nbsp;EUR&nbsp;7&nbsp;000&nbsp;000, &nbsp;Enabel for an amount of EUR&nbsp;28&nbsp;000&nbsp;000, EIB for an amount of EUR&nbsp;45&nbsp;000&nbsp;000 and other EU programmes amounting to EUR&nbsp;21&nbsp;000&nbsp;000
