The program is aligned with the government of Colombia (GoC) National Development Plan 2022-2026 “Colombia; a global power for life” which prioritizes the promotion and management of downtown areas as one of the components (Transformation 5 - Regional Convergence) within the catalyst of “Utilization of the built city” (DNP; 2024). The program also contributes to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); particularly SDG 11: “Make cities and human settlements inclusive; safe; resilient; and sustainable”. The concept of revitalization applied to city centers is understood as the implementation of physical and social actions to improve dynamics and urban space quality of the existing built city; serving the needs of residents and users and the diverse services provided in the city center; while respecting its identity. The program is also aligned to the agenda agreed between the government of Colombia and the World Bank in the Country Partnership Framework (World Bank; 2024). As outlined in the document; common priorities are the promotion of equitable territorial development and social inclusion; the sustainable and inclusive transformation of the economy; the strengthening of resilience to climate change and the promotion of low carbon transitions. The PRICC responds to these priorities as it promotes equitable territorial development through the revitalization of city centers with a focus on improvement of economic performance and social inclusion. In addition; as the PRICC promotes revitalization of existing urban space; it contributes to mitigate the effects of climate change and depending on each city's context and priorities; it can also provide adaptative solutions. The GoC through the DNP has requested the World Bank to provide technical support for structuring the PRICC. Following this request; the World Bank; in collaboration with the Quality Infrastructure Investment Partnership (QII); is set to offer valuable technical assistance to the GoC.  The QII aims to support infrastructure projects in developing countries and raise awareness of the quality dimensions of infrastructure by (i) maximizing the economic impact infrastructure investments; (ii) supporting low-carbon growth through decarbonization and transitions to net-zero; (iii) facilitating digital transformation and the effective use of data in infrastructure; (iv) reducing both the impacts of climate change and the contribution of infrastructure to harmful emissions; and (v) strengthening infrastructure governance by fostering openness; transparency; and efficiency.Due to the comprehensive approach required by the PRICC; the design of the program will need the engagement of multiple stakeholders and collaboration between the DNP; the Ministry of Housing; City and Territory (MVCT); the Ministry of Commerce; Industry and Tourism (MCIT) and the Ministry of Culture (MC); planning; finance and economic development secretariats and urban operators and communities; among others.
