dc.description.abstractThis publication draws from the rich and varied experiences in upgrading of the South African SDI Alliance, in particular the Informal Settlement Network (ISN) and Federation of the Urban and Rural Poor (FEDUP). It describes the community-led practices for upgrading and the tools that support these, especially mobilising through savings and data collection. It describes how these examples helped change national government policies towards commitments to community-led upgrading. It also describes a decade of partnerships with local governments that sought to greatly increase the scale of upgrading and reflects on where this worked well – and less well. Many positive commitments have been made by city governments (and ministers within national governments). But it has proved challenging to put them into practice on the ground within the formal processes of local government with its sectoral rivalries, bureaucratic inertia and range of (often inappropriate) rules and regulations.
