城市管理项目前景光明

The UMP has a future on its own

瑞典国际发展合作署（SIDA）支持城市管理项目（UMP）有许多原因。瑞典国际发展合作署发现城市管理项目在减轻贫困、良好治理、环境、性别平等和艾滋病防治等问题上的主要观点、关注重点与其发展重点相近。

The Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency （SIDA） has supported the Urban Management Programme （UMP） because its general and thematic focus corresponded closely to Sweden＇s own development priorities on problems of poverty reduction, good governance, environmental concern, gender equality and the fight against HIV/AIDS. A major contribution of the UMP is the introduction of city consultation as a means of participatory governance including a wide group of stakeholders. The UMP＇s investments over a long period have resulted in a valuable capital for improving living conditions of the urban poor. Although the UMP will cease to be a UN programme this year, the anchor institutions networks are expected to carry on its work. Many donors are changing their funding modalities. In SIDA＇s case, the main resources are channeled via regional funds.
