Habitat Agenda Indicators

In the aftermath of the Millennium Declaration in September 2000, UN-HABITAT has the added responsibility to report on the “significant improvement in the lives of slum dwellers”, Target 7D, of the Millennium Declaration Goals (MDG)

MDGs Goal 7 Target 7D “Slum target”

• Lack of slum definition and concepts

• Lack of slum data and indicators

• Not included in most MDG country report

 

Slum : until 2002, no internationally agreed definitions, concepts and method of computation

UN-HABITAT organized a gathering of experts and other stakeholders from around the globe, to reach to an agreement on the universal definition of slums, in Nairobi, 28-30 October 2002.  

Expert Group meeting 2002

The Expert Group Meeting (EGM) was a major consensus building exercise on the definition of slums, which enabled, the measurable articulation of the meta-global indicators, indicators and sub-indicators of each concept.

 

Expert Group meeting 2002

In urban area, a slum household is considered to be a group of individuals living under the same roof that lack one or more of the below conditions:

• Access to improved water

• Access to improved sanitation

• Access to secure tenure

• Durability of housing

• Sufficient living area

 

Slum Household Indicators from the EGM

lack of water, lack of sanitation, overcrowded conditions, and non-durable housing structures measure physical expressions of slum conditions. They focus attention on the circumstances that surround slum life, depicting deficiencies and casting poverty as an attribute of the environments in which slum dwellers live. , expressed as a percentage.

Physical expressions of slum

security of tenure – has to do with legality, which is not as easy to measure or monitor, as the tenure status of slum dwellers often depends on de facto or de jure rights – or lack of them. This indicator has special relevance for measuring the denial and violation of housing rights, as well as the progressive fulfillment of these rights.

Legal expression: security of tenure
