Double Standards, Single Purpose: Reforming housing regulations to reduce poverty

By Oscar Musandu-Nyamayaro, Alex Mugova, Theo Schilderman, et al.

The recent revisions of housing standards in Kenya and Zimbabwe are explored, their origin, the participants involved, their relevance to low-income residents, their impact as well as lessons learned. Overriding issues, such as informal enforcement, which emerge from work with low-income residents, and how to get future standards right is examined.
