The project aims to: • Include elements friendly to infants, toddlers, and caregivers (ITCs) in highly visible, urban infrastructure projects with a renewed focus on green (and blue) infrastructure, public spaces, early childhood urban services and informal settlements. • Institutionalize Urban95 policies and guidelines, inclusive of ITC-friendly norms, elements, budgets, and procurement rules, in city functioning. • Build capacity of the early childhood workforce, city managers, and city technical teams to be able to support and respond better to the needs of young children and their families in Udaipur. • Prepare Udaipur to imbibe post-Covid-19 ITC-supportive interventions in city planning and project implementation with a focus on resilience to better support young children and families. • Serve as a lighthouse for other cities in the state and nationally keen on incorporating an Urban95 infant, toddler, caregiver friendly lens to city planning and policies.
