With its focus on community participation, this Note helps to promote participatory slum upgrading in their dialogue with the client and throughout project preparation and implementation. Targeted at the Bank-financed projects, the Note is for government-led slum upgrading initiatives and is written from a perspective of how the Bank teams can help governments explore and create a room for community participation in their formal policy, program and projects on slum upgrading.
The Note first describes a process of slum upgrading as widely observed in the Bank-financed projects and what is meant by community participation (Section 2). Section 3 identifies opportunities for deepening community participation in a slum upgrading project and offers some tools and activities to be considered for different project stages. Finally, Section 4 highlights prerequisites for a city to promote meaningful participation in a slum upgrading project.
