Launched by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), the National Urban Poverty Reduction Programme (NUPRP) was a six-year programme that targeted sustainable improvements in livelihoods and living conditions of the urban poor across towns and cities in Bangladesh.
We conducted a comprehensive institutional and financial capacity assessment (IFCA) for 11 cities/towns in Bangladesh. The underlying aim was to strengthen the capacity of municipality/city corporation for pro-poor and climate sensitive urban development. Based on the learnings from the assessment, we provided inputs for strengthening the framework of Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) on financial management capacity and reforms.
