Project Description

The MCDF grant will seek to ensure that the planned upgrading of the interchange connecting the Shaikh Khalifa Bin Salman (SKBS) Port in Bahrain and the King Fadh Causeway connecting to Saudi Arabia meets International Financial Institution (IFI) environmental, social, and technical standards.

The aim is to strengthen the design and readiness of enhancements to the SKBS port road interchange, which will streamline traffic, reduce congestion, and make trade between the two countries and the wider region faster and less costly. This includes addressing risk, climate resilience factors, and environmental and social safeguards. 

To achieve these objectives, the MCDF grant will finance an environmental and social impact assessment, a climate mitigation and resilience assessment, and a technical audit. It will also support capacity building initiatives to facilitate the application of IFI standards and best practices within the SKBS port road interchange project.

Alignment with MCDF Core Values

Transport and logistics are MCDF priority sectors.
