The development objective of the Capacity Building for Urban Development Project for India is that: selected Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) will have improved their systems and skills for urban management and urban poverty reduction. There are three components to the project. The first component of the project is capacity building for strengthened urban management. This component will help states and ULBs to improve systems for (i) financial management (FM); (ii) urban planning; (iii) service delivery; and (iv) governance in ULBs. The second component of the project is capacity building for effective urban poverty monitoring and alleviation. This component will help states and ULBs (i) improve skills of practitioners; (ii) recognize and incorporate innovative programs and best practices; and (iii) diagnose urban poverty and prepare alleviation strategies in ULBs. This component will also strengthen Ministry of Housing and Urban Poverty Alleviation's (MOHUPA's) capacity for urban poverty monitoring and evaluation. The third component of the project is implementation support. This component will support implementation via outreach activities with ULBs, as well as project procurement, FM and administration.
