This event provided an opportunity to share best practices on policies and the implementation of slum upgrading, eradication and prevention programmes by local and national the world. The specific objectives of the conference were to: develop specific recommendations and guidelines for slum improvement policies and the development of well-adapted housing alternatives to prevent new slum formation (the Rabat Declaration); devise the strategy required to revise Target 7-D of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and adjust it more closely to the diversity of national conditions and circumstances; share successful experiences, methodologies and evaluation methods with regard to slum reduction; broaden the scope of experience-sharing within the Conference to bring in Least Performing Countries (and African countries in particular), to help them implement effective slum reduction policies; strengthen partnerships between Morocco and other African countries. A report of the conference and videos are available online.
