TOP > Programmes > Global Campaign Global Campaign for Secure Tenure The Global Campaign for Secure Tenure promotes the granting of secure tenure as an essential and catalytic element of a sustainable pro-poor shelter policy. It actively promotes equality of treatment for women, particularly in respect of access to property titles, and inheritance rights. The primary purpose of the Campaign is to give a voice to the hundreds of millions of people living in slums and shacks, and the homeless living in temporary shelter. All people have a right to adequate housing, and security of tenure is amongst the most important of all housing rights. The campaign actively advocates equality of treatment for women, particularly in respect of access to property title, and equal inheritance rights. The Fukuoka Office is facilitating the Campaign in this region through various partners, gradually expanding the coverage from country to country.

Global Campaign on Urban Governance The main objective of the Global Campaign for Good Urban Governance is to improve the quality of life in cities, especially for the poor and marginalised. The campaign encourages local governments to adopt inclusive strategies and participatory processes of decision making, through which a partnership of city/programme networks could be established regionally to agree and replicate successful operational principles (norms) amongst national/city governments and communities. This year, Campaign activities focused on establishing and operationalising the Regional Consultative Group of partners to coordinate joint activities, advocate and promote the Campaign regionally through various workshops and symposia, information dissemination and studies on tools; with direct support to National Good Urban Governance Campaign Launches, which promoted national norms of good urban governance.
