IMO URBAN DEVELOPMEN

closed

The Imp Urban Development Project will continue the strengthening of the government's capability for policy formulation and program monitoring and evaluation in the urban sector, extend the demonstration of a replicable approach to the provision of shelter, services and industrial and commercial plots affordable by the low income urban population, and build on and strengthen institutional linkages and capacity in Imo State to carry out future low income urban development projects. The physical works include provision of serviced plots for residential, commercial, and small-scale business uses, improved public utilities and infrastructure and social facilities. Improvements will also be made in environmental health and urban service delivery. The project will provide credit for building materials, loans for site and service and upgrading beneficiaries, and workshop and working capital loans for businesses locating on small business plots. Employment opportunities will be generated through provision of plots, technical assistance and credit to small businesses.
