114 African Development Bank — Advancing Climate Change Action and Green Growth in Africa The Gabar El Asfar wastewater treatment plant — the largest on the African continent — completed its Phase II in 2017, financed in part by the Bank ($58 million). The plant purifies sewage from Greater Cairo (nearly 20 million inhabitants). Once the full cycle is completed, the purified water is conveyed to tanks and is reused in agriculture, chiefly for the cultivation of olives and lemons, using the drop-by-drop irrigation technique Measuring GHG emissions and emissions reductions, is complex, and assessing adaptation and resilience is equally if not more complex. Measuring mitigation and adaptation is challenging enough for organizations that have a single economic activity, but given the breadth of activities and projects the Bank supports, measuring mitigation and adaptation across the portfolio of Bank projects and activities is incredibly challenging
