SECURITY OF TENURE IN URBAN AFRICA: WHERE ARE WE, AND WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE

The subject of land in Africa is both a critical and a sensitive one. UN-HABITAT’s global mandate covers all human settlement, although we are often known as the agency for cities. In the cities of the developing world, slum upgrading is one of our key tasks where security of tenure and land are of critical concern.
