Global Urban Affordable Housing - ‘Civil Society Innovation and Urban Inclusion’ #11

For the Centre’s 2020 Report on ‘Civil Society Innovation and Urban Inclusion’, we’re speaking with inspirational innovators from civil society organisations (CSOs) around the world to hear the stories of their advocacy and programming work to make cities more inclusive.

In this episode, Sanjee Singh, Director – International Housing Programs at Habitat for Humanity International, tells us about the organisation’s Global Urban Approach, a comprehensive housing ecosystem strategy, driven by people, public and private partnerships.

Sanjee describes how the co-creation through these partnerships of context-relevant and evidence-based interventions at three different levels – community, market and policy – have transformed the living conditions for low-income communities in Monrovia, Liberia and Asunción, Paraguay, and led to longer-term systematic changes in the whole affordable housing sector.
