Monitoring Urban Inequities:
The Monitoring Urban Inequities Programme is the study of social inequities within human settlements regarding access to essential services such as water; sanitation; shelter; sufficient living space and security of tenure. The programme however, will not be limited to these five indicators but goes a few steps beyond into other social conditions in health, education, employment and access to credit to name a few.
Along with the Urban Indicators Programme and other current monitoring activities, the MUIP aims to provide globally representative knowledge on the actions taken by the governments to improve the lives of the slum dwellers and to measure the impact of these actions, by monitoring the magnitude of urban inequities. The MUIP aims to develop capacity among multiple national stakeholders on holding policy analysis and on implementing multi-stakeholder programme frameworks in favour of the urban poor. This will enhance policy formulation and dissemination at the local level, based on solid evidence and information.
The programme has already launched activities in Addis Ababa Ethiopia, and other select cities. Data will be available soon at this site.
