Request for Expression of Interest
for Conducting
Training Support Provision for Cities in
Local Development Planning
The GTZ –Urban
Governance and Decentralization Programme (UGDP) is a bilateral
cooperation between the Ethiopian and German Government dedicated
towards sustainable urban development in several selected cities in
Ethiopia. Currently the UGDP supports cities to implement the Urban
Good Government Package prepared by the Ministry of Works and Urban
Development. The overall objective of the Programme is that these
Selected cities provide better services to their citizen and apply
principles of good government.
Within the Urban
Good Governance Package the GTZ-UGDP is supporting four reform sub-programmes
one of which is the Urban Planning Reform Sub-Programme. Taking this
and the recently enacted urban planning proclamation, the UGDP
intends to build planning capacity at city level which would enable
the cities to undertake their own planning. Based on a concrete
assessment, the Programme has decided to support the capacity
building of cites in designing and implementing local development
plans (LDPs).
Consequently,
UGDP is seeking the services of consulting companies or individuals
with licenses and expertise in the areas of urban planning to
provide three months on-the-job training to a selected number of
