The project supports the government's efforts to decentralize the responsibility for the planning, design and management of urban services to local authorities while assisting with reconstruction of the country after a period of political instability, social strife and physical destruction. The project objectives are to: (a) improve living conditions and alleviate poverty in Kampala by restoring key infrastructure services; (b) support the development of decentralized local urban management by strengthening the revenue base, financial management and technical capacities of the Kampala City Council (KCC) and by improving the ability of central government to assist local authorities to increase their revenue base and strengthen financial management; (c) strengthen the country's capacity to manage the process of urban land development; and (d) promote sound cost recovery policies and practices. The project includes support for: (a) the rehabilitation of urban markets, streets and drains, refuse collection and disposal; (b) the servicing of land for residential development; (c) the preparation of up-to-date mapping and a strategic urban development plan for Kampala; and (d) technical assistance and training for KCC, the Ministry of Local Housing and the Physical Planning Department staff.
