| Government of Kenya and UN-HABITAT to Upgrade Slums |
|
|
Nairobi, 16 Jan 03
Honourable Raila Odinga, the new Minister for Roads, Public works and Housing of the Government of Kenya and Mrs. Anna Tibaijuka, the Executive Director of UN-HABITAT, today signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on the "Slum Upgrading Programme for Kenya". The programme hopes to improve housing, infrastructure services and the overall livelihoods of people living and working in informal settlements. One of the major goals is to ensure that the poor are given some form of security of tenure so that they can participate in the improvement of the urban environment. The programme will begin by working on slum upgrading in Nairobi and Kisumu, the lessons learned will then be replicated in other urban areas in Kenya.
