Millennium
Development
Goals
Background
1.
In September 2000, 189 UN member-nations, rich and
poor, reaffirmed their commitment to peace and
security, good governance, and attention to the most
vulnerable with the adoption of the Millennium
Declaration.
2.
The declaration reflects the vision of entire nations,
working together with international and country-based
organizations, to wipe out poverty and the worst forms
of human deprivation, and lay the foundations for
sustainable human development by the year 2015.
Background
3.
The vision is translated into the
Millennium
Development Goals (MDG) which are targets on
specific human development indicators: a) Poverty
Reduction; b) Universal Primary Education; c) Gender
Equality; d) Reduced Child Mortality; e) Improved
Maternal Health; f) Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria, and
other Diseases; g) Environmental Sustainability; and,
h) Develop Global Partnership for Development.
4.
The challenge and need for each nation is to ensure
that the MDGs are integrated and given top priority in
development planning efforts: monitoring, localization,
advocacy, financing, multi-sectoral support, and MDGresponsive policy framework and legislation.
Background
5.
The UN fully supports the Philippines and other
committed nations in attaining targets : Localization of
the MDGs, Cities Alliance project on Slum Upgrading,
Unleashing Entrepreneurship.

The target on Shelter Development falls under Goal 7
( Ensure Environmental Sustainability) Target 12

Continuing to meet the housing requirements of the
informal settlers
a. Scaling-up proven multi-stakeholder and cost-effective
housing programs;
b. Improving security of tenure, improving land registration
process, and adopting and developing innovative tenure
arrangements to address affordability issue (i.e. leasepurchase, usufruct, rent-to-own, etc.);
c. Relocating informal settlers occupying danger areas in
Metro Manila in a just and humane manner (i.e. North and
South Rail, Pasig River);
d. Supporting LGU and private sector-led housing programs;
e. Developing new centers for housing in Luzon, Visayas, and
Mindanao.
CHALLENGES and PRIORITIES
for ACTION
2.
Pursuing an asset reform program
Urban asset reform program shall be pursued (MTPDP
2004-2010) by providing property rights to informal
settlers – unlocking “dead” capital or lands occupied by
IS by granting legal rights – used to raise capital for
micro-enterprises.

Provision of technical services (housing designs
to suit the incremental mode of building, etc.) at
rates affordable to the sector.
Coming up with technologies on housing that will
bring down cost of construction.
Provision of employee volunteering in the form of
technical services and/or actual construction that
will lower the construction cost.
As potential developers, pursue the option of slum
upgrading as mode of compliance to the
Balanced Housing Law.
