AN OPPORTUNITY TO BE PART OF A REVOLUTION FOR URBAN SECTOR
DEVELOPMENT
Invitation for Expression of Interest for Regional Training Hubs for
Training Delivery to
Urban Local Bodies (ULBs) and City level agencies in Mission cities under
Jawaharlal Nehru National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM)
Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India has launched the
Jawaharlal Nehru
National Urban Renewal Mission (JNNURM) to develop urban infrastructure and
provision of basic
services for urban poor in 63 cities across the country. Objective of JNNURM
is to ensure integrated,
planned and sustainable development of financially self reliant,
economically vibrant and equitable
development of cities by providing substantial central assistance and
encouraging reforms to
improve urban governance. Further details of the program can be seen at the
website
http://jnnurm.nic.in
Ministry of Urban Development is launching a massive capacity building
program under
JNNURM in response to an urgent need to professionalize and strengthen the
skills of municipal
functionaries. This is an imperative as the 63 ULBs, covered under the
Mission, face the challenges
posed by reformed operating principles and practices of urban development in
the country. An
extensive, focused program for training delivery and skill development under
JNNURM intends to
bring together institutions engaged in delivery of training on one hand; and
ULBs and other city
level agencies that need to access such training on the other.
Considering the limited capacity of the supply institutions, the strategy is
to draw in a select
set of government aided centers of excellence, to operate as Regional
Capacity Building Hubs to
expand, deepen and energize the supply side. A group of Network Institutions
(national/state/city
level) will be aligned with each Regional Capacity Building Hub to
strengthen them and accelerate
the capacity building program. If your institution is geared to take on the
challenge and
responsibility of operating as a Regional Capacity Building Hub to oversee,
support, monitor and
assure quality of programs contact us. Applicants will be judged on merits
of their technical and
institutional capacities. Selected institutions will then be asked to submit
time-bound proposals on
basis of needs, arrived at in consultation with the Network Institutions
aligned to them.

Interest (EOI) to
the undersigned by 27th December, 2006.
