Land isn’t just about ownership. It’s the foundation for climate action, housing security, and urban equity. No land rights = no services, no stability, no future. If we want just, resilient cities, we start with land.

Why does #Accraflood so often? Because 60% of housing is informal - built without proper land rights or planning. Poor land governance = poor drainage = more floods. 📌 The Revised Ghana Housing Profile shows how secure land can boost flood resilience. #UrbanResilience #Flood

In Ghana only 8 of 170 district capitals have piped water. The urban poor in Accra pay up to 20x more. Half the water is lost before it reaches anyone. It’s time to invest in equitable urban water access. Join the conversation. #SDG6 #SDG11 #NewUrbanAgenda Source: GSS

To serve Africa better, we must first understand where we make the most impact. At the UN-Habitat Africa retreat, I called for a clearer picture of our value, showing how our work on the ground makes a difference for communities facing the challenges of rapid urban growth.

As we close the #OECPR & look ahead to #UNHA, today’s dialogue on multilevel governance showed the power of partnership. We reaffirmed that localizing the #SDGs is essential. Multilevel governance is the backbone of SDG localization & the heart of our new Strategic Plan.
