As the global financial crisis pushes millions back into poverty and reduces aid from donor countries that face domestic budget crises, the session emphasized the need to renew countries’ commitments to eradicate poverty and to provide social protections for the youth, elderly and disabled. These trends highlight the opportunity for IIUD to address such social protections in its planning, advocacy and public participation work. ]]> http://ori.i2ud.org/2011/02/ecosoc/feed/ 0 http://ori.i2ud.org/2011/02/203/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=203 http://ori.i2ud.org/2011/02/203/#comments Wed, 02 Feb 2011 22:13:19 +0000 MJ http://i2ud.org/dev/wp/?p=203 Continue Reading]]>

The creation of a logistical node at the intersection of the ring road with the East-West national development corridor. The node will be implemented through a public/private partnership and serve as a distribution, warehousing and light industrial center. In order to alleviate congestion in the central area the Task Force suggested that the national bus terminal be relocated from the city center to the logistical node.

Building community centers to provide a public clinic, potable water, improved sanitation, playground and market space and solid waste service blocks in every ward. A fundamental objective is to create a civic center enabling the ward to launch and manage community-based initiatives and engage and empower residents particularly women and youth to actively participate in shaping the future of their neighborhoods.

I2UD will further detail these projects and work with the Task Force to develop an implementation plan.]]> http://ori.i2ud.org/2011/02/203/feed/ 0
