Nepal Integrated Urban Development Project (IUDP)
Moving from Project Level Impact to Sector-wide Impact in Gender-Responsive Urban Governance
GESI inclusion in Nepal urban development projects up to now have been project specific. With IUDP, GESI inclusion is aimed at a much broader impact level since Ministry of Physical Planning and Works (MPPW) has committed to develop and institutionalize operational guidelines for mainstreaming GESI concerns in its overall portfolio of operations from planning to O&M and train its staff for implementation and monitoring. This is a major initiative to enhance the capacity of MPPW to address GESI issues in sector policies and all infrastructure projects and not just one ADB funded project.
