3. ACP/EC/UN-HABITAT CONFERENCE
Partnership most valuable as stated in the adopted declaration
EC= development funds,
ACP= political commitment and strategic planning,
UN-HABITAT= technical know-how

4. Context of PSUP Urban growth = slum growth
Most growth in mid-size cities
Six key challenges:
Land availability and affordability
Economic efficiency and social equality
Environmental infrastructure and basic services for all
Housing sector and municipal finance
Job creation through spatial and economic development
Institutional coordination and synergies
Now, represented through thematic areas
Approach methodology, which is uniting different urban sectors…

5. PSUP Components PHASE 1: Urban Profiling PHASE 2:
Regional policy development
Capacity building
Slum upgrading action plans and programme formulation
PHASE 3:
Implementation of action plans and national programmes
The first Phase called Urban Sector Profile Study consists at supporting city and national actors involved in urban development, through broad-based participatory processes, in assessing their current situation in terms of urban constraints and potentials and to identify common priority needs and areas of intervention.
The Second Phase called ‘Regional policy development, capacity building, slum upgrading action plans’ aims to enhance regional, national and local dialogue and exchange of experiences in sustainable slum upgrading policy development; That phase also consists to build technical capacities in slum preventing and upgrading and, to define action plans, sometimes supported by feasibility studies for slum areas, with the aim of implementing activities.

6. Increased advocacy for urban development challenges and urban poverty
Rapid Urban Profiling
(Quick response to urban development challenges)
Flexible mechanisms for dialogue, participatory, rapid, action-oriented
Increased advocacy for urban development challenges and urban poverty

8. To assess interactions, urban management and governance frameworks.
Urban profiling, why?
To assess interactions, urban management and governance frameworks.
To enable various stakeholder and citizen to participate and elaborate on common priority interventions for achieving prosperity in their cities.
To uncover urban development potentials
Initiate positive change
Especially at city level, in slums un-used opportunities, initiatives, create identification with their city

9. IMPORTANT what, where, why HOW to achieve change
Urban profiling ?
NOT an academic study
IMPORTANT what, where, why
HOW to achieve change
BUILD OWNERSHIP and MOBILISE resources
Profile as AGREEMENT between different stakeholder and citizens
Profile, agreement between urban decision makers, citizen…
Immediate action for improved living conditions.

Insight to the city…
Bottum-up process
