This publication tells the story of the slum
upgrading project supported by the Cities
Alliance with the State Government of Bahia
(Brazil), from 2001 to 2006 and tries to capture
the lessons learned. The Bahia Project was one
of the first activities undertaken by the Cities
Alliance, following its formation in 1999. A
broad coalition of partners were mobilised in
the area of Alagados, a well-known slum
in the Brazilian city of Salvador: The
State of Bahia, the Cities Alliance, the
World Bank, the
Government of Italy,
AVSI (an international development NGO) and
more then 70 local community based associations.
To make a real difference in the lives of the
slum dwellers, a participatory and integrated
approach was used. Through the project, process
of upscalling was successfully set in motion. |
