Goal

The CUHD envisions to sustainably improve the health and well being of the urban population, particularly the marginalized and vulnerable by being the center of excellence on Urban Health.

This will be achieved through supporting responsive governance, effective service delivery systems, and empowering urban communities and stakeholders by capacity building, evidence creation, knowledge management, research and advocacy support.


Objective

The objective of the CUHD is envisaged as a centre (an independent cost and revenue centre), to institutionalize capacity for designing, implementing and monitoring urban health related activities.

The Centre would offer strategic partnership support, research, analysis and information/knowledge dissemination support to advocate for greater engagement and pooling of resources for Urban Health programs.
