"One in every three people living in cities of the developing world resides in a slum. The Participatory Slum Upgrading Programme (PSUP) with assistance from the European Commission (EU) and the African, Caribbean and Pacific Secretariat (ACP Group of States), is one of the UN-Habitat's key initiatives to mobilize partners and resources to commonly contribute to urban poverty reduction. The programme contributes to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) particularly MDG 7 ... Upgrading the Slums for Better Cities tells the story of how cities in Africa, Caribbean and Pacific are tackling the slum challenge." (Quoted from site)
