Approach & Design

Decentralized Approach :

ULBs to prepare SLIPs

State to aggregate SLIPs to prepare programmatic SAAP

• Develop parameters within overall framework of AMRUT.

• Set objectives and indicators to be achieved at state level.

MoUD to

• Seek & approve plans from state outlining technical, financial reform and institutional strategies for achieving the coverage.

• Track Progress on AMRUT objectives and key indicators

SLIP

Each ULB will prepare Service Level Improvement Plan (SLIP) to achieve universal coverage for targeted sectors.

Assessment during the preparation of SLIP • Service level gaps and viable alternatives to bridge the

gap

• Broad cost estimates (capex and opex)

• Prioritise based on local demands and needs

• Include projects with land and all clearance obtained

• Identify innovative approaches

• Investment requirements, revenue improvements and resource mobilisation

• Internalize reforms

• Capacity (Individual and Institutional) enhancement requirement.

SAAP
