The UIIDP, as with previous urban development programs led by the Ministry (the Urban Local Government Development Program, ULGDP I and ULGDP II), has been designed and is being implemented to support the achievement of some of the ECSPGs and some of the targets under the GTP2 and the upcoming GTP3. The UIIDP builds on the same design components of ULGDP II, while deepening the institutional performance targets to be achieved by ULGs and strengthening the focus on job creation / local economic development, urban resilience and gender.
