This component also include the provision of technical assistance to the Tamil Nadu Urban Development Fund (TNUDF) and ULBs regarding bond issuance, and to ULBs for project preparation and implementation; 2) urban investments, which will provide a line of credit through the TNUDF, as well as funds for an integrated sanitation program for the targeted urban poor.
