The World Bank has also helped conceptualize a Blue Economy for a Resilient Africa Program to scale up Blue Economy solutions in the continent. The IFC has also developed very useful guidance on Blue Bonds and Blue Loans .

The Digital Development Partnership of the World Bank financed by a number of Partners also seeks to advance digital solutions and accelerate safe and inclusive digital transformation in developing countries. The portfolio of the partnership indicates the breadth and depth of its work.

One notable effort is the GEF - Africa - 2nd phase fish (GBissau) project, which focuses on enhancing fisheries management. Another example is the National Ganga River Basin Project , which includes near real-time water quality monitoring as a service. Moreover, innovative technology, such as the Hydromantis model, is being utilized to develop smart wastewater treatment systems that incorporate energy as a closed loop.

Efforts are also being made to involve stakeholders at different levels. For instance, the WACA project is assessing littoral drift through earth observation and establishing the West African Regional Coastal Observatory to enhance coastal zone management in participating countries. Additionally, several fishery projects are incorporating satellite observations or vessels to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.
