Abstract
To help A.I.D. alleviate the plight of these poor, a state-of-the-art report has been prepared on the design and implementation of A.I.D."s Integrated Improvement Program for the Urban Poor (IIPUP). This companion volume contains four annexes to that report. The first annex discusses IIPUP project components -- shelter provision, assistance to small-scale enterprises, other employment assistance, informal adult education, environmental sanitation, urban health services, public transportation, participant mobilization, and improvement of the welfare of the neediest groups. The second annex presents case studies from U.S. and international (India, Honduras, Zambia, Indonesia, and Kenya) experience in urban improvement projects. The third annex offers a comprehensive checklist of data requirements (demographic, social, economic, housing, health, welfare, labor, education, transportation and communications) for designing and evaluating IIPUP projects. The final annex is a 90-item bibliograhy (1959-80).
