Between 2004 and 2007, Homeless International undertook a range of research for ComHabitat. ComHabitat was established as a partnership consisting of the Commonwealth Consultative Group on Human Settlements (the body of Commonwealth Ministers concerned with implementing the Habitat Agenda in their own countries) and agencies from different sectors that are critical to implementing the Habitat Agenda. It focuses on networking and sharing practical examples of progress in implementation. ComHabitat also commissioned practical research work to assist Ministers, civil servants, local government and civil society in human settlements development.
ComHabitat’s research was divided into two main thematic areas:
- Urban Finance
- Implementing the Habitat Agenda
Given our niche expertise in relation to both of these issues, Homeless International carried out a number of research studies related to both.
