Urban poverty reduction strategies need to be grounded and implemented at the local/city level. Thus urban poverty reduction strategies need to be included in city development strategies. However, scaling up requires simultaneous efforts by both national and local governments to eliminate impediments at both levels. While central governments address policy matters and regulatory impediments nationally, and initiate nationwide programs (PRSP processes), local authorities should design strategies to make appropriate interventions and regulatory changes in the city. Local experiences should be fed back to national governments to influence their support to cities, as well as for redesigning national programs (see figure 2 below).
