Background and objectives
The Regional Office for Africa and the
Arab States of UN-Habitat and the Government of Ghana are preparing
a comprehensive support programme to the Government's poverty reduction
programme through application of principles of community development and
the Sustainable Cities Programme (SCP), lessons learnt through implementation
of the Strengthening Community Management Programme (SCMP) and the Accra
Sustainable Programme (ASP). The SCMP and the ASP experience will
be replicated and expanded to the rest of the country. The knowledge
base of the two programmes will be used to prepare a proposal with external
expertise providing critical analysis of the methodology.
Activities
It is a three-month programme preparation
activity in which an international consultant will work with national experts
to identify eight low-income communities to be mobilized and trained for
replication of the SCMP and ASP in a larger programme.
Results
The result of this activity will be a
framework to assist the Ministry of Local Government and Rural Development
in applying the lessons learnt in the implementation of SCMP and ASP. The
output will be a set of proposals to support the decentralization process
and poverty reduction.
