Abstract

The Community Led Infrastructure Finance Facility (CLIFF), established in 2002, is a financing facility that enables organisations of the urban poor to access greater public, private and civil society sector resources to deliver adequate and sustainable housing and basic services for slum dwellers. This is achieved through supporting innovative practice, influencing policy, demonstrating solutions that work for the poor and the city as a whole.
