Poverty Reduction. The overall desired outcome is to enhance poverty reduction and economic development programmes, with a particular focus on the rural poor, women and marginalized people (e.g. returning labour migrants), such that the present level of poverty (over 50%) is decreased by 5%. To reach this outcome, UNDP will: support the Government in formulating and implementing sectoral strategies and policies in selected economic and social sectors to support achievement of MDGs and the implementation of the government’s National Development Strategy (NDS); develop a more transparent business registration, regulatory and taxation framework that promotes businesses and public‐private partnerships; provide low‐income households, women and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with access to a broad range of financial, micro‐credit/financing, legal, income generation and business support services; and, lastly, strengthen national capacities to negotiate and efficiently coordinate development finance with international donors and to encourage trade and foreign direct investments.
Poverty Reduction. N/A 3) Social Development (e.g., Gender Perspective, Measures to Prevent Infectious Diseases Including AIDS, Participatory Development, Considerations for the Handicapped, etc.): The Project makes efforts to ensure that female passengers can use the metro safely and comfortably, for example, by introducing women-only coaches, marking priority seats for passengers who need assistance, including women, installing CCTV cameras in stations and coaches, and setting strap hangers at a lower position. This is the reason that the Project is classified as a Gender Integrated Project. In this country which has a risk of AIDS infection, the Project implements large-scale construction work with a significant portion of the labor force concentrated in the site. Thus, the high risk of transmission is considered. The Project has established a special plan for HIV prevention and requires each contractor to take measures in accordance with the plan. Special needs of the elderly and the physically challenged are taken into consideration when designing stations and coaches (e.g., universally designed elevators and escalators, announcements at stations, signs in Braille, and space for wheelchairs) by learning from precedents such as accessibility considerations adopted by Delhi Metro, in accordance with the accessibility-related laws and policies of India.
