Abstract:
This short booklet presents a summary of IRC’s activities within the framework of the Basic Urban Services (BUS) Initiative, carried out over a five-year period (2003-2007) through an Agreement of Cooperation with UN-Habitat. The activities formed an integral part of, and contribution to, the implementation of the Second Phase Dutch Support to the Sustainable Cities Programme (SCP)1. This second phase aimed at ensuring that local SCP partners play an increasingly important role in achieving the Millennium Declaration targets for poverty reduction, by strengthening programme support at regional and national levels. A partnership was established with IRC in recognition of its specialised expertise in the field of basic urban environmental services and experience in:
• facilitating public participation processes in water supply and environmental sanitation,
• capacity-building of resource centres, applied research, case study development,
• documenting good practices, and information brokerage.
The objective of this booklet is to share the major experiences and lessons learnt, to highlight the remaining challenges and to suggest ways forward, in particular in scaling up the BUS demonstration projects. It addresses a variety of readers. Those most directly involved in the BUS/SCP project include municipalities, anchoring institutions and donors such as UN-Habitat, UNEP and UNDP. It may also be of interest to readers who want to know more about the process, outcome and suggestions for the future in a project such as this.
