About UPE
Favela Brazil P St Jacques NML.jpg
Brazil - Favelas(urban slums)are characterized by a lack of adequate access to basic services (IDRC Photo: P. St. Jacques).

UPE aims at easing environmental burdens that exacerbate poverty in selected cities by: strengthening the capacity of the poor to equitably access environmental services, reducing environmental degradation and vulnerability to natural disasters, and enhancing the use of natural resources for food, water, and income security.
