The overriding objective of the Uttar Pradesh Urban Development Project is to support the policy adjustments and the institutional strengthening initiated by the governments of Uttar Pradesh (GOUP), India (GOI) and the Ganga Project Directorate (GPD) and reduce the serious deficits in urban shelter, infrastructure, and services. To this end, the project comprises two distinct programs of investment: the Uttar Pradesh (UP) Program and the Ganga Program. The UP Program supports: (a) sector management, technical assistance and training, sites and services, slum upgrading, area development, water supply, sewerage and sewage treatment, drainage, low cost sanitation, solid waste management, maintenance management, and traffic engineering and management, in about 12 urban areas in the state. It also includes (b) low cost sanitation investments in a further 18 towns. This program focuses on improving urban management, and operations and maintenance of investments, including improved resource mobilization and utilization. The Ganga program provides consulting services, studies, training, priority rehabilitation and pollution control works, and equipment for sewer cleaning operations and river monitoring to reduce pollution of the Ganga River.
