In this issue we look at PARTNERSHIPS
Each doing what each does best . . .
The
problems of land, housing and services in Asian cities are too big and too
complex for either communities or cities or development professionals to
solve alone.
It takes lots of groups to make change.
Good solutions to these big problems require partnership, but
partnership isn’t easy.
Especially between the poor and the state, who have a long history
of mutual mistrust to surmount. SOME GOOD- NEWS

Notes from the ACHR /
SDI Network
on Community Exchanges
|
Face to Face is a tabloid style
newsletter / magazine which attempts to inform about the process and the
benefits of community to community exchanges. Over 32 pages,
55,000 words and over 100 photographs attempt to hook up the ideas and
people which have helped bring to life this relatively new development
process.
The stories and text come from innumerable documents, conversations,
e-mail messages, videos, speeches and notes, and weaving them together
involved the very far flung editorial collaboration of Sheela Patel, Diana
Mitlin, Joel Bolnick and Thomas Kerr. Support for the magazine came
from Pilotlight (UK) and the English National Lotteries Charity Board.
Hard copies of Face to Face magazine are
available from ACHR Sec, PilotLight, and SDI.
The full text document is available at the Website of Slum Dwellers
International (SDI).
