The project selected a slum area in Mombasa, initiated capacity building at the municipal council and developed an action plan with a funding strategy and demonstrated community-led delivery approach of priority basic services. The programme contributed to improving water and sanitation, which are a big challenge in the informal settlements.  The experience empowered the local community to own and contribute in poverty alleviation programmes. It also clarified the various and critical roles of the community and the Municipal Council in the delivery of basic services.

• Prepare a layout plan of existing settlement in digitized form
