UNHABITAT is the UN agency that addresses the global overarching issues that the alliance deals with locally and nationally. The alliance as part of Slum/Shack Dwellers International (SDI) has been engaged with UNHABITAT for many years. This year a delegation from SDI headed by Jockin attended the annual governing body meeting of UNHABITAT and held meetings with several ministers and mayors. In addition, Jockin had a special meeting with Dr. Clos, the executive Director of UNHABITAT to explore how to collaborate the SDI and UNHABITAT.
The SDI has now signed a MOU with UN HABITAT - it has become part of the City Changers campaign and works closely with different divisions of the organization on a range of issues.
