The proposed project is designed to further strengthen MMH's capacity to plan, design, and execute key urban development programs at the local level; and to help the Government remove development bottlenecks in the urban sector while making full use of private initiative. It would provide affordable infrastructure services to the low-income population of the port city of Hodeidah, the second largest city in YAR, at minimal cost. The project would help develop the Ghuleil area and integrate it into the city's master plan. It includes: (i) the upgrading of 65 ha of built up area to benefit about 13,000 residents; (ii) development of another 40 ha to provide 1,650 plots for families, and for social facilities (schools, dispensaries) with adequate infrastructure; (iii) provision of roads and footpaths, water supply, sewerage, electricity and street lighting; (iv) technical assistance of 180 man-months for project execution and management, and strengthening municipal administration in Hodeidah; (v) a study to design and evaluate alternative ways of mobilizing resources to finance the maintenance of existing urban services and the construction and maintenance of new ones; and (vi) training and studies for preparation of future projects.
