Abstract

This External Review focuses on two aspects of the Urban Poverty and Environment Program (UPE): the extent to which the program meets its objectives; and the results and effectiveness of the Program. Approximately 190 people were interviewed, mostly IDRC’s research partners, including researchers, government and community leaders. Objectives identified in the UPE Prospectus were clearly formulated. The evaluation reviews capacity building, policy influence, contributions to technology development, environmental improvement, community strengthening, tenure security and disaster vulnerability.
