The Executing Agency for this project is HUDCC with the World Bank providing supervision. The HUDCC intends to apply a portion of the grant to engage the services of a consulting firm, ICF GHK, to undertake selected activities essential to project implementation.

The project aims to develop a National Informal Slum Upgrading Strategy (NISUS) to guide the National Government and local government units (LGUs) in the preparation and implementation of effective policies and programs on slum upgrading.
