* Housing and Infrastructure
* This programme has been a core PPT programme since its establishment in
1993. It is a large and complex programme with many constituent sub-
programmes and project typologies which deliver various forms of housing
and infrastructure to disadvantaged communities at scale. Where funding
and other conditions permit, PPT at the same time promotes non-
infrastructural development (e.g. livelihoods, economic development,
fruit trees) in order to enable more integrated and sustainable
development. The programme includes the following elements:
* Low income housing (basic starter homes) and associated settlement
planning (mainly for informal settlement upgrading but also on green-
fields or rural projects).
* Basic infrastructure for urban, peri-urban and rural settlements (e.g.
water supply, sanitation, road access).
* Bulk infrastructure (e.g. bulk water supply, sewer mains, sewer and water
treatment upgrades).
