| Summary: | The purpose of this guidebook is to
provide practical advice to local governments (LGs) in
developing countries on how to establish and maintain a
process of planning and funding capital investment as a
regular activity integrated with other activities of the LG
and based on principles of good public management. The
guidebook is addressed mainly to cities that have not yet
established such a process or are interested in revising
their current processes. The guidebook is written for
decision makers and technical experts in LGs who are engaged
or should be engaged in this process. The guidebook is
designed primarily for urban LGs, but much of the
information is useful for mixed or rural jurisdictions as
well. This guidebook also is useful for the staffs of donor
agencies and/or consultants who assist cities in municipal
development projects. This guidebook is one instrument
integrated with other World Bank urban programs and
instruments that support sustainable urban development in
developing countries within the framework of the World Bank
Urban and Local Government Strategy. These other urban
programs include the: (1) Urbanization Review Framework
(URF), which provides macro-level diagnostic tools to
identify key policy issues related to urbanization and the
investment priorities for it; (2) Eco2: Ecological Cities as
Economic Cities (city or metropolitan sustainable urban
development initiative that assists developing country
cities to achieve environmental and economic sustainability;
and (3) Disaster Risk Management Program (DRM). This
guidebook will help LGs prepare specific capital investment
plans (CIPs) based on their national urbanization strategies
and city-based sustainable urban development plans
elaborated through the Eco2 initiative and/or various
Disaster Risk Management Program (DRM) instruments. The
guidebook will be especially useful to LGs if they have
adopted their urbanization strategies and established clear
investment priorities. |
