The majority of the projects has been gathered through the UN’s Integrated Planning, Management and Reporting solution (IPMR), with support from secondary sources, including the Impact Evaluation of UN-Habitat’s Housing Approach to Adequate and Affordable Housing and Poverty Reduction 2008-2019 and the Housing Section Project Inventory. [...] The primary goal of the housing approach is to increase access to adequate housing through policy reform, operationalisation of housing strategies and the implementation of housing programmes and projects. [...] It is an implementation model of housing reform based on (1) the recognition and promotion of adequate housing rights, (2) the revision of housing-related laws, policy and regulatory frameworks, (3) the adoption of improved housing policy and strategic frameworks, and (4) the implementation of improved housing and slum-related programmes and projects. [...] Overall, the project documents infer the housing interventions are determined by the unique characteristic of each region or country housing context in response to the unique characteristics and the political, economic and cultural approaches to housing development and informal settlements. [...] Information is crucial to maintaining the relevance of the project responses for the housing sector: accurate, up-to-date, and nuanced housing deficit measurements and to inform the types of housing intervention to be implemented.
