| Summary: | This report aims to extract lessons on
slum upgrading and involuntary resettlement policies and
practices learned from the process of addressing the Badia
East case, which involved complex interactions between
affected people, NGOs, the Bank and Lagos State Government.
In doing so, this report will discuss the Local Government
Support Programme (LMDGP) as a complex and rich case study
from which to extract lessons on involuntary resettlement,
land, housing and slum upgrading, as well as overall urban
development issues, although it is by no means meant to be
an evaluation of the LMDGP project itself nor of process
that followed the submission of a request for inspection to
the Inspection Panel. Rather, it intends to provide an
in-depth analysis of, and make recommendations on urban land
and housing issues and the modalities of urban sector
engagement in mega-cities like Lagos with inefficient land
markets. The report was based on an extensive desk-review of
relevant documents on urban issues in Nigeria and Lagos and
on the LMDGP; interviews conducted in Lagos and Abuja during
the period of January 18-31, 2015 with a range of
stakeholders; and a series of case-studies on relevant
international experiences in the areas of slum upgrading,
involuntary resettlement, land and housing. |
