Kenya: A Joint Appeal to African Ministers on urban housing: 3 April 2006

The African Ministerial Conference on Housing and Urban Development (AMCHUD) meets from 3-4 April 2006 in Nairobi, Kenya, to discuss strategies for the realisation of the Millennium Development Goals relating to slums. In light of the ongoing and growing crisis in urban housing in Africa, Amnesty International, the Centre on Housing Rights and Evictions (COHRE), Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) and Hakijamii Trust are calling on the ministers to adopt concrete and human rights-based strategies that ensure the poorest members of African cities can live in human dignity.
