This report describes theTransformingSettlements of the Urban Poor in Uganda.A Secondary CitiesSupport Program (TSUPU), is the first national initiativewithin the Cities Alliance's global programme, Land,Services and Citizenship for the Urban Poor (LSC). The firstpremise of the Medium Term Strategy is that the CitiesAlliance should prioritise working with those governmentsalready committed to change and reform over time for threemain reasons: the Cities Alliance support will have a fargreater impact, and the opportunities for learning andknowledge sharing will be greatly enhanced, and the model orexample to other cities or countries will be more emphatic.Based on this, a program has been designed to support aselected group of developing countries who have recognizedthe importance of dealing with the challenge of rapidurbanisation, growing cities and deepening urban poverty.The report outlines the activities the TSUPU has designed,that will help the Ugandan government to identify andcapture the positive elements of urbanisation, and createinclusive cities without slums in order to maximise thepotential of urbanisation by proactively managing urban growth.
