Background and use of SL
The
challenge of urban poverty is immense in Angola. The purpose
of the LUPP programme is to influence equitable and inclusive
pro poor policies and best practices for poverty reduction
in peri urban Luanda. Using participatory approaches
as its basis, this programme initially focused on
basic service delivery at the micro level, and then progressed
to strategic influencing for scaling up and reducing poverty
generally.
LUPP
is becoming a ground-breaking example of policy influencing
in the extremely difficult working environment of a post conflict
/ fragile state. LUPP is achieving real impact both in terms
of policy influencing at a strategic level as well as making
a practical difference in the lives of poor women, children
and men. LUPP has a proven track record of making a difference
to achieve more accountable local governance
in a challenging environment.
LUPP
comprises four projects:
- The
Sustainable Livelihoods Project
- Sustainable
Community Services Project
- Luanda
Urban REhabilitation and Microenterprise Project
- Luanda
Urban Child Welfare Project
It
has brought together methodologies and approaches in micro
finance, water and sanitation, business development services,
participatory urban governance and early childhood development
that have become models for the Government of Angola, for
non government and private sector actors, and are being replicated
in Luanda and beyond. |
