From Recovery to Resilience: this piece highlights how federations of the urban poor across the world have been supporting their communities and working with local governments and stakeholders to implement effective, scalable solutions to the challenges of the Covid-19 pandemic in informal settlements.
Through a partnership supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida), Cities Alliance, and Slum Dwellers International (SDI) were able to channel much-needed resources to organised communities of the urban poor in 17 countries across Africa, Asia, and Latin America to facilitate these processes.
The examples included in this publication highlight how urban poor federations have the information, knowledge, and skills to work with government and other stakeholders to implement effective, scalable solutions to chronic and acute urban challenges.
