Programs
The
AUICK program for 2010
increased regional capacity to conduct analyses of migration and
urbanization trends and the implications for development planning,
through a series of research, training and information exchange
activities. This facilitated the effective incorporation of
population issues into the development agendas of Asian local
administrators and planners of the nine selected medium-sized cities
(AACs).
Strategic
Project for 2010
A.
Training Programs

officials of AUICK
Associate Cities (AACs).
1.
Workshops on Specific Themes
To improve the knowledge, awareness, and understanding of senior
city
planners and administrators on specific issues of population and urban
development.

Monitoring Visits
AUICK
staff visit AACs every year to monitor the results of
training and to observe how
administrators have applied what they learnt in seminars.
The
follow-up visits have
three aims:
a)
To learn about the impact
of the training program in the area of policy formation of
ex-participants and their cities;
b)
To receive suggestions for
future directions to make programs better; and
c)
To strengthen an
intersectoral and intercity network among participating cities in each
country.
