Implementing the Right to Housing for Residents of Slums and Informal Settlements in Kenya: Legal, Policy and Institutional Challenges and Prospects
Abstract
This thesis evaluates the legislative, policy and institutional framework on housing in
Kenya and the challenges and prospects it presents for the effective realization of the
right for residents of slums and informal settlements. The study compares the
statutory, policy and institutional approaches to securing the right in Kenya with those
of Tanzania and South Africa with a view to borrowing best practices that can help
enhance the realization of the right in Kenya particularly for those living in slums and
informal settlements. This is then followed with some recommendations.
