The Regional Afghan Municipalities Program for Urban Populations (RAMP UP), in collaboration with the Independent Directorate for Local Governance, assists governments in urban centers to increase the capacity of municipal officials, improve the delivery of municipal services, support economic growth initiatives, and increase own-source revenues. USAID funds small service delivery improvements and small-scale infrastructure projects such as road paving, parks, and solid waste management. Community projects identified by a multi-stakeholder process seek to develop municipal management capacity while improving service delivery, which increases the amount of locally generated revenue.
This project is implemented by Chemonics in the south and DAI in the east, west, and north.
