Participatory Development Programme in Urban Areas (PDP)

The Participatory Development Programme (PDP) focused on the upgrading of informal areas in the Greater Cairo Region (GCR) – Cairo, Giza and Qualubeya Governorates – by introducing and supporting the implementation of participatory methodologies for urban upgrading with public administration and civil society organisations to improve service provision, and thus, living conditions in an integrated manner to alleviate urban poverty.

The project contributed to the improvement of the living conditions for nearly 2 million residents in 9 unplanned informal urban areas (in GCR) through developing reliable, sustainable and resilient of infrastructure with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all including adequate and safe housing, health centres, roads, schools, solid waste management and safe drinking water. The project also included capacity building using on-site demonstrations, and on-the-job training.
