Policy Paper: Sustainable Service Delivery in an Increasingly Urbanized World, 2013. USAID.
This Policy seeks to move away from a development approach oriented around an artificial urban-rural dichotomy. Instead,the Agency believes that development efforts must span a continuum from rural to urban to form an interdependent system. It is the vision of this Policy to support service delivery that attains large-scale benefit to urban residents in a sustainable manner over the long term. This Policy therefore encourages Missions to support programs that will improve governance, encourage accountability, and bolster capacity to manage urban service delivery systems.
