This paper presents data collection for a component of the project related to the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) plan and its indicators. It focuses on strengthening community participation via the Community Development Committee (CDC). As the implementation activities of the Focus Cities (FC) project have maximised, the work load and pressures of responsibility on the CDC members has increased. In Colombo (Sri Lanka), the FC study used water and sanitation as an entry-point to develop a model of participatory service provision that addresses how best to deliver different types of urban services to the poor.
