Breakdown of the Informal Settler Population

Requested from PSA by G. Nicolas at 03:57 PM on Feb 08, 2023.
Purpose: Research and advocacy
Date of Coverage: 02/05/2017 - 02/05/2023
Tracking no: #PSA-927827844956

Nicolas 03:57 PM, Feb 08, 2023 

Good day.

On page 59 of the second chapter of the PDP 2023-2038 says that "About 66 percent of the 1.6 million direct housing assistance target of the government for the period 2017–2022 was accomplished. Targets were relatively low compared to the 3.7 million informal settler families (ISF) that do not have security of tenure as of 2021." I am currently conducting research on urban poor and the main primary source of this information (3.7 million ISFs) and how this number is distributed (in terms of location, income decile, etc.) would be helpful and useful.

Good day! I would like to ask for an update on my request. Thank you.
