Project Summary:

Under this Project, the MSI team is conducting a multi-country study examining opportunities for USAID infrastructure investments to assist cities in addressing rapid urbanization and to support internally displaced persons (IDPs).
The research questions focus on understanding architecture engineering and construction (AEC) capacity in developing countries where USAID supports programs/projects. The studies are trying to improve understanding around the in-country strengths and weaknesses of construction codes and standards. For the IDP study, the team investigated the characteristics, needs, and challenges of IDPs. The research team has collected interview data from over 115 key stakeholders across in multiple cities across three countries (Kenya, Philippines, and Colombia).
