The project has five components. The first component, institutional and policy development will support institutional strengthening and capacity building of central government agencies (e.g., BAPPENAS, MPWH)responsible for the management of KOTAKU and will include: (a) institutional analysis at the national level as well as for a sample of municipal governments to identify the nature of support needed to facilitate inter-agency coordination during program/project preparation, implementation and supervision stages; and (b) strategic national upstream policy level studies to facilitate the development of government policy to support the sustainability of slum upgrading and prevention efforts. The second component, integrated planning support and capacity building for Local Governments and Communities will finance the costs of experts and community facilitators throughout the project cycle to support capacity building (including training, workshops, and knowledge exchange events between cities as well as urban districts) of local governments and communities in 154 cities to design and implement slum improvements, including the development of Slum Improvement Action Plans (SIAPs) at the city level and Community Settlement Plans (CSPs) at the community level. The activities under this component will build the capacity of participating local governments to design and implement slum upgrading. The third component, urban infrastructure and services investment support. This component includes two sub-components as summarized below. i) improvement of primary and secondary infrastructure and site development as well as construction of connecting infrastructure as identified in Surat Perintah Pencairan Dana (SIAPs) in 50 selected cities, and ii) support for tertiary infrastructure upgrading in the project cohort of 154 cities based on a CDD approach. The fourth component, implementation support and technical assistance will provide technical support, advisory services and training for Project Management Units (PMUs) at national level, and for Project Implementation Units (PIUs) at national, provincial and city levels.
