Innovative and Special Projects (I&SP)

This component focuses on the promotion of novel initiatives in the form of innovative projects. These initiatives may be in the nature of pioneering efforts, aimed at catalysing sustainable approaches to urban livelihoods through Public, Private, Community Partnership (P-P-C-P), demonstrating a promising methodology or making a distinct impact on the urban poverty situation through scalable initiatives.

The projects which demonstrate strategies to create long-term and sustainable livelihood opportunities and may cover the organisation of the urban poor, formulation, and implementation of the innovative skill development programme, provision of support infrastructure, technology, marketing, capacity building, etc. or a combination of these may be undertaken.

Innovative/special projects may also be undertaken on a partnership model involving CBOs, NGOs, semi-government Organisations, private sector, industry associations, government departments/ agencies, urban local bodies, national/state/city resource centres, or international organisations.
