Despite considerable public funding, Mexico City faces inadequate and inequitably distributed water infrastructure. Corruption in public fund management and at the interface between institutions and individuals is fed by opaque governing systems. Local actors agree that sustainable water management must begin with systemic changes to enable transparent and participative governance.

Meningkatnya jumlah penduduk selalu diiringi dengan meningkatnya kebutuhan akan perumahan. Di kota-kota besar termasuk kota Makassar dan Surabaya, kebutuhan perumahan menjadi sebuah masalah penting karena pertumbuhan penduduk yang disebabkan kelahiran dan urbanisasi yang tidak sebanding dengan tersedianya fasilitas perumahan. Upaya yang dilakukan dalam menanggulangi permasalahan penduduk miskin adalah pemenuhan hak dasar penduduk seperti pemenuhan atas pangan, layanan kesehatan, layanan pendidikan, pekerjaan dan berusaha, air bersih, dan sanitasi serta hak pemenuhan atas perumahan, kondisi tersebut telah mendorong semakin berkembangnya pemukiman masyarakat miskin yang didirikan secara ilegal, kumuh, dan tidak layak huni. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk mengetahui dan memahami tanggung jawab negara terhadap upaya dan kendala pemenuhan hak atas perumahan yang layakbagi masyarakat miskin dalam pelaksanaan pemenuhan pembangunan perumahan yang berdasarkan prinsip-prinsip Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) melalui jaminan kepastian hukum atas kepemilikan tanah, ketersediaan, keterjangkauan, layak huni, lokasi yang layak, layak secara budaya. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut maka metode penelitian yang digunakan adalah deskriptif normatif yang ditunjang dengan penelitian hukum sosiologis sebagai pelengkap guna menggambarkan instrumen hukum HAM dalam pengaturan pembangunan perumahan yang layak bagi masyarakat miskin.  AbstractIncreasing of the population always is accompanied by a need for housing that mounts to higher. In big cities such as Makassar and Surabaya, a need for housing already has made an important issue because population growth led by birth and urbanization not equal to housing availability. The effort made to solve the problem of the poor is a basic right fulfillment of society namely food, health services, education, job and business, pure water, and sanitation also rights satisfaction on housing. This condition has driven more growing on housing construction for the poor, illegally, dirty and uninhabitable for living in. This aim of this research is to find out and understand state`s responsibilities to attempts and obstacles of the fulfillment of right on adequate housing to the poor based on human rights principles with guarantee of law certainty on land ownership, availability, affordable, livable, a good place, culturally decent. The method of this research is a normative descriptive and supported by sociological law research as complement to describe law and human rights instruments in arranging of a decent housing construction to the poor.

Sustainable development is a global imperative, and strategic partnerships involving business, government and civil society may present a successful approach for the development of communities around the world. Business Partners for Development (BPD) is an informal network of partners that seeks to demonstrate that partnerships among these three sectors can achieve more at the local level than any of the groups acting individually. The Water and Sanitation Cluster of the BPD has been working with eight partnership projects around the world to determine the efficacy of the partnership approach in providing water and sanitation to the poor. Measuring the effectiveness of these partnerships, however, proves challenging. Different interested and affected groups will measure the success of the initiative along different sets of criteria. Partnership elicits qualitative values such as trust, responsiveness and flexibility that are more likely to be “measured” by gut reactions rather than by more mechanical means. However, the creation and maintenance of a carefully selected set of indicators for a specific partnership project should enhance relations by increasing clarity and building stronger communication channels. The paper below provides considerations for the creation of partnership indicators.

New private property investments in Africa’s cities are on the rise, and they often take the form of entirely new cities built up from scratch as comprehensively planned self-contained enclaves. As these new city-making trajectories are expanding and empirical research is emerging, there is a need to provide more conceptual clarity. We systematically examine the diversity of new cities in Africa; elicit their financial trajectories; and set an agenda for critically examining their actual and expected implications, by learning transnational lessons from debates on gated communities, peri-urban land governance and displacement, and older waves of new city building. Although most new cities are private-led projects, they are inserted into diverse and dynamic political economies with states ranging from developmentalist to neoliberal to absent. The consumptive and supply-driven character of many projects so far (resembling gated communities for middle and higher classes), their insertion into ‘rurban’ spaces with complex land governance arrangements, and their tendency to implement post-democratic private-sector-driven governance will make them at best unsuitable for solving Africa’s urban problems, and at worst they will increase expulsions and enclosures of the poor, public funding injustice and socio-spatial segregation and fragmentation.

This paper addresses two approaches to guiding the inclusion of the poor and vulnerable in clean water and sanitation programmes in the framework of Sustainable Development Goals. It proposes an operational and adapted participatory approach for identifying the poorest and most vulnerable, which has become a central interest for inclusive development policies worldwide post Millennium Development Goals. Then, it proposes an inclusive water poverty index for the inclusion of the poor and vulnerable. This index, with six components, materializes the spatial and temporal equity in the distribution of water and sanitation services through a given district or municipality, particularly in developing countries.
