  <description>The urban programme of Cordaid &#8220;Acces to Basis Services for Slum dwellers&#8221; has a strong focus on housing. Cordaid&#8217;s work is centred on empowering poor and excluded people and improving their living conditions. Apart from supporting initiatives of civil society organisations, Cordaid started a joint lobby with several ngos in Peru, Cameroon and Congo to improve the accessibility to finance for housing for low income groups in cities as Lima, Yaound&#233; and Kinshasa.
