The Community Infrastructure Upgrading Program (CIUP) aims to improve access to infrastructure and services in unplanned and under-served areas of Dar es Salaam. 31 Communities are going to benefit with CIUP.
These Communities comprise an estimated 330,000 people and cover an area of 1000 hectares or approximately 20% of the unplanned area of the City.
The CIUP will be implemented in two phases of roughly the same size.
The second phase includes Communities that require a more substantial investment in trunk infrastructure.
In each of the phase 1 Communities, upgrading packages have been selected through an iterative consultation process that involves the identification of problems, prioritization of actions, and design of initial upgrading packages.
The infrastructure upgrading involves the following infrastructure services; Roads, footpaths, drainage, sanitation, solid waste, street lightning and public toilets.
Finally all 31 sub-project communities will also benefit from a complementary water supply improvement program funded by the Dar es Salaam Water Supply project that will provide public water points and house hold connections.
The communities will contribute 5% towards capital cost- upfront contributions in order to demonstrate community demand and enhance commitment to sustain operation and maintenance of the infrastructure.
CIUP OBJECTIVES
Improve the productivity and well-being of low- income urban residents in Dar es Salaam by upgrading infrastructure and services in unplanned and under-served settlements.
Strengthen Municipal systems for upgrading infrastructure and services.
Build community capacity to participate in planning and maintaining infrastructure in coordination with the municipalities.
