Strengthening Municipalities for Urban Service Delivery

Closed

The proposed TA fits within the framework of ADB's Country Partnership Strategy for Nepal (2010-2012), which prioritizes (i) inclusive social development and (ii) governance and capacity building among the four pillars and focuses on supporting the Government's efforts on peace building; reconstruction, rehabilitation and reintegration; and delivering a tangible peace dividend in the form of effective public services and development benefits. Improving financial management including own revenue collection enhancement, and urban planning are urgent needs that will help facilitate smooth implementation and operation and maintenance of the on-going Secondary Towns Integrated Urban Environmental Improvement Project (L2650-NEP) and the Integrated Urban Development Project in the pipeline (project-processing in 2011). Lessons from the on-going Institutional Strengthening of Municipalities (CDTA 7355-NEP) will be integrated in the TA design.
