The USAID Regional Housing and Urban Development Office sponsored a 1999 project addressing the “Szczecin Local Initiatives Program” for Szczecin, Poland. The program sought to develop a supportive framework linking neighborhood revitalization and economic development. The contract involved funding partnerships between residents, the private sector, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs).
The Unit staff, lead by John Driscoll and Dr. Mona Serageldin, worked towards the development of local initiative programs with community-based organizations in Szczecin, Poland. The project also tapped a network of local universities, foundations, civic institutions and other non-profit organizations to improve the physical and social conditions in lower-income neighborhoods in Poland.
