Title Innovative finance for infrastructure and basic service provision for low income human settlements Day / Time Tuesday, June 20th / 16:30 - 18:30 Room Oceanview 5/6 Event Description The objectives of this event are to: provide a forum to share experiences in financing basic services and infrastructure for inclusive urban development; identify necessary factors and constraints for successful financing of infrastructure and basic services provision for low-income housing settlements; and facilitate future sharing of ideas through linking up those present with existing networks of practitioners. A catalyzing discussion will consider Gobabis, Namibia and its federated community action, which has secured a political commitment whilst a community managed loan fund has helped to ensure inclusion within the settlement. The event will, also, discuss Orangi and other Pakistan locations, where residents have used this methodology, demonstrating communities can finance, manage and build internal development provided they are organised, have technical support and managerial guidance. Finally, the discussion will consider PRODEL, in Nicaragua, where 420 different projects, in the last 12 years, have been executed to the benefit of more than 60,000 low-income families in 10 different cities.
