Slum Upgrading and Alternatives
to Slum Formation
Interventions:
 Provision of land where necessary & land management
systems.
 New housing.
 Development of new settlement areas.
Global Targets:
 Improve the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers by
2020
 Provide alternatives to the formation of new slums and stop
the growth of slums by 2006

Urban Infrastructure
Water Supply and Sanitation
Interventions:
 Infrastructure for water supply, including trunk
infrastructure and water treatment.
 Private sanitation facilities and public sewers, including
emptying of pits and safe disposal of sullage.
 Public education on water, waste, sanitation and hygiene
 Storm drainage infrastructure
Targets:
 Halve proportion of people without sustainable access to
safe drinking water by 2015.
 Halve the proportion of people without sustainable access
to basic sanitation by 2015, aiming for an end to the
practice of open defecation.
 Provide adequate storm water drainage by 2015.

 Electrification with a priority on schools and health
facilities
 Bill collection and monitoring
Targets:
 By 2008, ensure reliable access to electricity to all schools
and health centers.

Urban Infrastructure
Transport

 Infrastructure for mass transport
 Roads and footpaths, including curbing, streetlights, and
other interventions to improve both road and pedestrian
safety
 Transport services for emergency health care and other
critical social services.
Possible Targets:
 By 2015 connect all settlements by paved roads and
footpaths.
 By 2015 reach all settlements with reliable means of mass

 Adequate transport services to access emergency health
care during for childbirth complications

Urban Infrastructure Resource Needs
Key Points
 In comparison to rural areas:
– Higher emphasis on networked infrastructure (e.g. electricity
and sewers)
– Higher ability to pay among users requiring – among other –
improved financial services
 Include costs of trunk infrastructure
 Include resources needed to facilitate cost-recovery where
appropriate (staff, financing mechanisms, infrastructure)
 Scope for cost-recovery and co-financing should be defined in
light of TOTAL household needs
 Needs assessment tools available for domestic water supply,
sanitation, energy, and slum upgrading.
