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).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-justify\" style=\"font-size:12px\">Team members, led by John Driscoll and 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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-subtle-light-gray-background-color has-background\"><tbody><tr><td>Project Year:<\/td><td>1999<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Project
