Capacity Building
Programme
The KEIP feasibility study identified the need for wider
capacity building in KMC and proposed a Capacity Building
Programme (CBP) under the KEIP. The Department for International
Development (DFID), Government of U.K, agreed to provide
upto £28.3m million over a six-year period to implement
the CBP. The purpose of the programme is to transform KMC
into an institution of excellence in city administration
and good governance, providing sustainable and equitable
urban services in the city, especially to the poor.
As part of the CBP, KMC has adopted a vision for itself;
a vision to develop into ‘ an efficient,
effective, equitable, citizen responsive, financially sustainable
and transparent organisation, delivering quality service
to its citizens’. The Vision Statement reflects KMC’s
aspirations for itself, and for the city as a whole. The
aim of the CBP is to facilitate the achievement of this Vision.
Detailed scope and project design
In November 2002, DFID appointed IPE (Infrastructure Professionals
Enterprise, New Delhi) as the Inception Phase Consultants (IPC)
to further refine the scope of the CBP identified under the
ADB feasibility report and reach an agreement with KMC and
other stakeholders regarding the design of the CBP. The IPC
then detailed the scope of the CBP and proposed interventions
under the following heads (consultants for which were selected
through a competitive bidding process) -

key implementation agency of the project. Nodal officers

work of the respective module - interacting with consultants,
finalizing recommendations and implementing the same. The
CBP Cell is headed by a CBP Manager.
