The goal of ITDG's Integrated Urban Housing Project is to contribute to the international programme of work to increase the access of the low-income households and the poor to adequate safe and secure shelter. More specifically the project purpose is to identify and promote a sustainable shelter delivery strategy for the urban poor, which can be adopted by governments in Kenya and India. The project, supported by DFID, is researching and acting at the local level to inform and influence the wider debate among agencies, public sector bodies and policy makers. In addition to practical interventions, reviews of the literature and practice to date is contributing to our understanding of the differences between singlesector interventions and integrated ones, in this case linking small business development with improved housing. This study looks at the work done in Nakuru, Kenya.
