Who will be involved

Development Partnerships at country levelby including key Habitat Agenda Partners in National Habitat Committees:


UN-Habitat Global Housing Strategy (GHS) is: a collaborative global movement towards adequate housing for all, influencing the Sustainable Development Goals, andFocusing on improving housing and living conditions of slum dwellers at country and city level.


The aim is that member states develop their National Housing Strategies.

A National Habitat Strategy is a participatory process of agreed sets of activities which guide polices, planning, and programming of housing, and slum upgrading and prevention interventions.

Housing Strategies, at national and city levels, are inseparable from land-use, infrastructure, including mobility and local economic development strategies, all integrated in the broad, participatory and inclusive urban planning and management process, within the supportive legal and regulatory framework.


The backbone of the Strategy will rely on the principles of inclusive cities as the sound foundations for sustainable urban development.

Inclusive cities are achieved by mainstreaming:human rights in urban development, including housing and slum upgrading, to ensure social integration and gender responsiveness, aiming for elimination of urban divide.
