The IHC and its founders seek to use this session to establish relationships with housing coalitions and other parties in the developing world with goals similar to the IHC, so more attention is brought to shelter and housing issues and joint efforts can be developed to lift the priority of housing assistance by multilateral and bilateral donor agencies and to implement effective housing and slum improvement strategies in selected developing countries.
