MULTI-STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT TO INCREASE ACCESS TO LAND FOR HOUSING: CASE STUDIES THROUGH THE SOLID GROUND CAMPAIGN
Jane Katz, Tamzin Hudson et all
Habitat for Humanity’s Solid Ground campaign, Washington, D.C, U.S.A.
Housing, both in the informal and formal sectors, fosters strength, stability and self-reliance and is often at the center of key development challenges. Without land, there can be no housing. Access to land lies at the heart of ending poverty. The Solid Ground campaign is providing an innovative approach to mobilize existing and new supporters to influence policy makers toward promoting policies and systems that improve access to land for shelter. Although the countries participating in the global campaign span many time zones, languages and cultures, they share a common barrier that denies people adequate housing – access to land. This paper outlines both the challenges and opportunities that arise from expanding access to land for shelter through multi-stakeholder partnerships, considering and exploring the different methodologies and modalities of engagement with different actors implementing under the Solid Ground campaign.
