South Africa - Infrastructure Governance and Green Growth Programme (IGGGP)

The Infrastructure Governance and Green Growth Programme (IGGGP) is a UA 350 m (approximately USD 474.64 m Sector Budget Support (SBS) African Development Bank (ADB) Loan to The Republic Of South Africa (RoSA) in support of the Government’s Just Energy Transition programme (JET)). It encompasses energy, transport and social sector reforms. It is a single year operation (at the request of Government) in the context of a multi-year approach from the Bank. The IGGGP aims to advance energy security, support a just and green transition, and improve transport sector efficiency. It will boost power generation and transmission capacity, upgrade the performance of Municipalities in the electricity distribution subsector, improve the use of fiscal instruments to reduce carbon emissions, accelerate the implementation of the Just Energy Transition Implementation Plan, support workers and communities to manage the impact of the Just Energy Transition, and improve the regulatory framework for governance and efficiency in the transport sector. It builds on the EGCRSP USD 300 million PBO programme approved in 2023, which helped to set the foundations of the JET.
