The housing sector targets the provision of 1.47 million units of direct housing assistance from 2011 to 2016. This target for direct and indirect housing provision is identified in Table 8.10.
The global MDG on ensuring environmental sustainability aims to achieve significant improvement in the lives of at least 100 million slum dwellers worldwide by 2020. This will guide the plans and programs on urban renewal or slum upgrading, which is a key component of the socialized housing program.
The identification and development of new relocation/resettlement sites for the marginalized and vulnerable sectors will be adopted, and program targets will likewise be set. The National Slum Upgrading Strategy that will be formulated will identify the national targets for the programs addressing the needs of slum dwellers.
