Its preparation has been informed by the lessons learned from similar projects implemented worldwide as well as by thorough analyses and studies of the areas, assets and people the project aims at supporting. The latter include (i) complete profiles of the target areas, (ii) a GIS- based inventory of their natural and cultural assets, (iii) a value chain analysis of local enterprises and tourism economy, (iv) a sample survey of street vending in Agra, and (v) mapping and assessments of crafts in all project target areas. The project preparation has also been driven by a participatory process through which ideas and findings have been shared with, and suggestions and proposals have been shaped by, more than 600 stakeholders – from government officials to experts and communities – consulted from its inception. This participatory process has not only informed the crafting of the project’s development objectives and components, but also all proposed subprojects and the institutional arrangements for their implementation and later sustainability.
