This HCPD is based on the Human Settlement areas of the country’s UNDAF, and on the Action Plan 2007-2011 led by the DRC Ministry of Urban Planning and Housing. The UN system supports the priorities and needs embodied in the DRC Poverty Reduction Strategy Document (DSCRP) and Priority Action Plan (PAP) 2007-2008 as well as in the MDGs. By the end of 2008, the PAP seeks to achieve the objectives related to the implementation of the “Five Pillars” which the President of the Democratic Republic of Congo has validated: infrastructure, employment, education, health and housing.
